First Outdoors Experience

DateSunday, February 21, 2016 at 4:12PM

The pups were outside for the very first time. How did they do? Wonderful.

Momma Leti made sure her pups were safe.

Leti was trying to protect the pups when we introduced friends to the mix. Oh it wasn't bad. She just let them know not to hurt her babies. She did this with Murphy and Ozzie.  Check it out in the video. You can also check out the gallery.

They also had exposure to the pool cover that bounces and that's mighty scary. Choco wasn't quite sure of the bounce of the adults running across but we took him and placed him in the middle and he went ah this isn't so bad. The other 2 didn't react at all. There is no rhyme or reason on who reacts but when they do we slow condition them and they get past it. All dogs will fear 'something' but its different things for each. We fear what we don't know but when you get slowly exposed, you find out its not scary at all. He played recovery fast so that tells me he has great coping skills. That's what you want. Tomorrow the other 2 will react to something different and hopefully they will recover fast as well. 3 out of 5 dogs pups or adults will react to the bounce of the pool cover their first time. It took Inula many days of exposures to get past it and we had to trick her by using distraction.  Now she flies over it.

It looked like the pups had a great outdoor adventure. River was so funny when she first saw the pups - she was so excited that she didn't know what to do.

Was really interesting to see Leti running interference between Murphy and the puppies. Murphy clearly thinks they are fun. Actually, Murphy looks to be almost the same size as Leti.

Leti is a small gal. :-)
