I had promised myself I wouldn’t even attempt to walk both dogs at the same time, but I really want to walk both dogs at the same time. I’m listening to “Be the Pack Leader” by Cesar Millan and in this book he talks about putting a pack on a dog to give it a job and cause it to expend even more energy. I have a dog pack. I put it on Gracie. She had no issues with it. I packed it with two full water bottles and a collapsible bowl. Mid point in our walk, we stopped to cool down and hydrate. Worked great! Hanna&Gracie-LuceLine West Out&Back: 82 minutes, 4.27 miles, 19:13/3.1, HR=103. I had hoped the pack would distract Gracie enough that she would cross the Invisible Fence line, but it didn’t. I had to load both dogs in the car and drive to the end of the driveway. While this is a hassle, I must remind myself it’s a whole lot less hassle than if Gracie didn’t respect the Invisible Fence.
