Dog's Day Out

Yesterday we started our weekend early. I'm done with classes by noon and JT was out of work by 2. We had lunch at Zupas before heading to the dollar theater to watch Seven Pounds. Don't ever go see that movie. It was slow AND depressing!!! Not even worth the $2.50 we paid to see it! But I digress...
We decided that it was time to test Mija at a real park. Rock Canyon Park is HUGE and bowl shaped. We wanted to see how she dealt with it on and off the leash. She LOVED it! Two ginormous black beautiful poodles (they were really good looking. JT's decided that if we ever get poodles we must have two black ones)came racing down the hill to play with Mija. She did NOT like that. It over-stressed her and she began to get aggressive. I was soooo upset. I was hoping that on top of the normal training, we would not have to deal with anti-agression training. It's a little hard to do without a second dog to practice with. Looks like we're going to have to do it anyway. Mija had a lot of fun once we distracted her. She never ran away from us off the leash either! We have progress!!!!

  2. yeah, the aggresive dog thing is normal. My two dogs play all the time and sometimes I get nervous because it DOESN'T LOOK like they're playing, but they really are.
