My final session with Buddy the Fetching Fanatic was lovely. We polished up all of his new skills, and then took a thoroughly enjoyable neighborhood stroll.

Buddy was a novice leash walker when I first met him, which means that our initial leash walks were more “drags” than “strolls.” There was much darting to and fro, and tons of marking.

He’s come a long way, baby.

He’s gotten so good at polite leash walking that his young person can walk him with ease.

Makes me a little teary-eyed! Way to go, Buddy, and nice work Jack!
