City dog

We are having dinner out and Fajsty is carefully watching all the feet passing by.

Random

I know this blog is supposed to be Fajstys but i have to show this butterfly i found . . So beautiful.

. . .

When you can't stay in the forest, take it with you. Fajsty decided he liked the forest so much he took it all with him.

2 in one

Managed to get both dogs in one picture.

Resting

Resting on the lawn after a day of play and a lot of heat.

2 dogs in the Livingroom

Gary has been selected as massi's pillow aka saviour. . She jumps up on him when Fajsty gets too annoying.

Chillin

Just chillin in the sofa with my best friends.

Training

Well like said, the training IS paying off, but its harder where there are lots of smells than where there are lots of people now. Earlier it was the other way around.

Now we can walk through the city at its busiest, and as long as there are no dogs around his attention is on the street or on me. Not on the other people. This is a good thing.

But when we walk in the city parks he pulls like a madman to get to the smell he wants, so I think that is the next step now. People are done, needs repetition of course, but people we can easily pass (most of the time) now, only Smells and Dogs left.


I'm loosely planning a "Dog-meeting-course" together with Marie at Ronjas Hundgöra where I think I need to participate with my wild thing . .

Sometimes meeting a dog on a distance works well. Most of the time it doesn't though. Some males growl and bark at him, Some males he growls and barks at. Some just ignore him.

It will be a while before we can pass a dog like we can pass a jogger. But I think we will get there with enough training.

Fajsty Writes....

Hanna and Signe are all happy about being Celebrities online, See: here.

Well, I can say that I am actually on a Window.
Sure it isnt the best photo of me, but it is me none the less.

It's the animal shop by the little square in the city, near the tv4 station.

So I think I win the celebrity factor.



I am now also an inventory at galgberget with at least one walk a day, sometimes 2 or 3.
I have now learned that you should not jump onto strangers and especially not the grey-haired ones. I bark at them instead. I should probably not do that either but sometimes I just cant help myself. Although Yesterday I walked past 3 grey haired ones with sticks and weird machines, and I was quiet all the way past them. After that I got a lot of sausage.

Wardrobe cleaning

Doggie does his best to help.

Fun stuff.

Never sane

There's never a sane moment in this house. We're all nuts.

In the city

With my mother on social training walk in the city. He's done really good so far. :-) it's much easier to pass people than interesting smells.

New lead

Yesterday we bought a good leather lead which i will always use when it's not raining or dark. This one has reflectives and is fabric so it's so light. When he's walking properly, which he now idoes more often than not, it is so light you can't feel you're holding anything. Good for when jogging too.

Showdog

We went to the show, didn't show Fajsty but looked at other dogs and used it as training social skills. He was a little bit lumpy but pretty well behaved on the whole. We bought a new lead because the old one is worn. Now i can't find it but i think it's in the car somewhere. I hope.

Patience

We were practicing waiting on a bench. :-)

Morning walk

I have started walking in the forest every morning before breakfast. Today i notice a big improvement, but now he's tired. He has not dodged towards any runners or walkers nor has he pulled too much. I think this is a good habit to keep. Now we're both sitting on a bench watching people come by in various speeds. He's doing really well i think. Must remember the city walk tonight too. One set of ladies just walked by and we have seen them 3 times today. Time to get a move-on and get started with the chores of today.

Fattie

Too short walks and too much food is my guess. From now it's a new regime. Morning walks in the forest and evening walks in the city. The city to get him used to walking around people again and for mental stimulation. The forest to burn off some calories. It's time.
