I couldn't decide whether to post this with the weight loss threads or Wiener Adventures or Bad Dog? (training). I finally decided that this was a Wiener Adventure. I need to get back to my exercise routine, but the DH is still recovering from the killer Christmas cold everyone here has had and so he doesn't want to start back to the gym until next week. So tonight I got home at 5:30 and decided to take Scooter for a jog. I figured this would have the double reward of me getting some badly needed exercise and Scooter getting some badly needed exercise! Me, to keep in shape and keep my weight down and Scooter so he doesn't drive us crazy wanting to play all evening.
So I change into jogging clothes and a ball cap and Scooter and I start out. You have to realize that Scooter is barely leash trained and doesn't really heel. He's all excited and pulling and I'm working with him and thinking "Are you nuts? Taking this untrained dog out to the golf course to jog?" But once I started jogging he pulled a little and then settled in beside me to jog! I was amazed. He was better at jogging than either Cash or Miller. :banana: The only time I had a problem was when I met another person or a person with a dog and then he wanted to be on the side away from them. The first time we met someone I tried to pass them on the right hand side and Scooter went zooming across in front of me and almost tripped me. I learn fast. After that I passed on the left and we had no problem at all. All in all it was a good jog and hopefully Scooter will be a little more tired out than he usually is. I'm so proud of him. He was a very good boy! :thumbsup:
