Been watching over the wolves. The last time we dog sat, they got a little out of control, escaping all the time, making mad dashes to the ocean.
We live in a National Park, so wolves running around on their own is a big no no.
I am not so keen on walking dogs on leash. You know, where the pull you every which way and get you all tangled in their leash.
So, today I took them to this trail and told them, "If you behave and stay by my side and in my sight, I will always walk you off leash but if you run off, then you have no freedom."
And my how impressed I was. They listened. Scout, who always runs off, would run ahead and stop, look back at me and wait. They constantly came back to check. These wolves are so intuitive.
All was well until the end, when Jade happened upon a cow and decided to bug her. Cows may fear humans, but they have no fear of the wolves. They charged back and soon it was the heard against the wolves. It was a mess and I was screaming my butt of to regain the control I had so graciously had earlier.
Needless to say, the leash came back after that.
