Pepsi and ricky and the girls

To bring pepsi out for a walk and to meet the girls was a challenge. I perspired so much yesterday it felt as if i’d hit the gym.

My girls and I were at a nearby cafe for a chat, together with Val’s dog, Ricky the jack russell, i think it is the miniature breed. It was super frighten of Pepsi, same goes for rachel!

I  was constantly on a look out for Pepsi, and the cats nearby worsen the situation. Pepsi was aggitated to see those cats, and there were many of them!When Pepsi is aggitated, the fur around her neck and tail will flare, and she looks realli scary!

Pepsi was not interested in Ricky, I think Pepsi is still quite anti social towards other dogs. Just today, i brought her out and we met a white labrador name Joyce who is only 4 months old! Joyce was so cute, and really friendly, she was all over Pepsi, just like Lucky girl (Pepsi sister). But Pepsi hates it and she start to move away from her or sit down with her head down. Also, her attention span on the other dogs was short, wonder how i can improve on this.. maybe i will try to bring her to meet ricky and lucky girl more!

Pepsi after 3 days of training

She cannot hide her excitement when she knows i am bringing her out for walk .

She is still the leader. So when out of the house, i will say “slow”.

For the first 5 mins of the walk, her behavior is the worst because she will be the aggressive leader. Quite a work out for me because she’s a muscle girl. Then i will proceed with the “stay” command when she drag me. Kinda work, but only after I tap her nose.

For the last two training, she’d made two friends, Lemon (not sure the breed) and Junior a maltese (I think junior is scare of her)! Making friends is good for her mental development and i hope she will make more friends!

Making Friends is an important aspect for a dog, because when i brought Pepsi to visit her sibling, Lucky girl, she was really scare till she was squatting down, tail in between the leg. That shouldn’t be the way, she should be playing with her!

Hence,  training with friends making session is really crucial.

Strategy 1: 5 Chances when taking a walk

My colleague showed me his sister little golden retriever puppy, this make me want to have another puppy. It is the same puppy breed in the 10 promises to my dog movie. That show made me cry really hard!

My little pepsi is really naughty but i love her coat of hair, it is really black and shiny, like those hair you see in the shampoo commercial, just that hers is short!

I invested quite a bit on her.. and she is already paying out. Everyday, after a hard day at work,  she never fails to rush to the door to lick me. When i get in, she can’t wait to throw her hug at me. Every morning, when i get down my bed, she will lick me all over and want me to pat her. These actions really brighten up my day.

Walking her is really a challenge, she will be the leader and i am the follower. She is getting a little big and to train her is quite hard. She always go berserk when she is out of the door. My strategy is to make her listen to my command.  She will only have 5 chances, If she do not listen to my command for 5 times, we will go home, and i amm only at the second session.

I feel really bad pulling her neck all the time, that is why i will just give her five chance. For the first 2 session, our walk only lasted for 5 mins.
