This morning my mom and I took all three of our furbabies on a dog walk to benefit a local no-kill shelter. My mom has two yorkies and I (of course) have Chase, my Pem.
I was a little nervous. Chase needs work with his socialization skills. He is always barking and growling at strangers as they approach and pass. I wanted him to have this new experience in order to help him learn to be around new people and new animals.
When we first got there, he went crazy barking at everyone. Though everyone who saw him realized he was the cutest thing they've ever seen, he wouldn't allow them to pet him. During our walk we allowed others to pass while giving Chase enough space to be comfortable. He did well, with an exception of having to stop a few times in order to quit pulling.
By the end of the walk Chase had stopped barking and growling at passers by!! He walked right by everyone without throwing a fit! I was sooo proud of him. I showered him with praises!!
We are likely signing up for beginners classes at petsmart tomorrow, I am excited for Chase to learn more and become a more socialized boy!

Can't wait to be able to take Chase to some Corgi Meet-ups!!!!
