Henry’s Training, 8Jan09
January already. Sheesh. Can you believe it?
In December, I slacked off seriously on Henry’s training and exercise. Both of us have gotten fat as a result. We started to rectify that yesterday with a nice long walk. We’ll do another couple mile walk tonight. I’m in the market for a good pedometer that works with Mac … I might end up with the nike/ipod unit but would prefer something a little more broadly applicable. I’m gonna look pretty silly wearing my iPod everywhere.
Jennie came over at lunch today and helped Henry and I get started on more training exercises that they use in formal obedience classes, which she just started doing a year ago. Henry did GREAT (even if I screwed up half the time) and it’ll just be a matter of repetition. Unfortunately, I’ve got a consulting gig coming up that’s going to crunch my time at home. Walking and training breaks should be good for relieving stress.
With the walk last night and the training at lunch today, Henry didn’t wet his crate today for the first time this week (Which is the first week I’ve been back since I got home at Christmas.) Talk about milestones.
