Patches Moves Towards Placidity

Although today's WalkABulls trek was canceled due to discouraging weather: heavy rain turned sleet and then snow, one of our dog-members decided to venture out to the park despite the weather to work on her calm.  Meet Patches, one of our lovely WalkABulls ladies! 

You've heard me say that "space is our friend" several times by now and currently Patches requires extra space. Patches isn't quite ready to walk with the group yet but step by step she will get there.  She and her human drove around the park while Patches was rewarded for any calm behavior she presented.  Just riding in the car can be very stimulating for Patches so this, along with being challenged by random dog sightings, was a great first step in getting Patches out in the world to work on her reactivity.  

Good luck Patches... you can do it!  We can't wait to walk with you!!
