Pickles Camping and Pickles off Leash.....

Hello, it is me again. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. A lot of time has passed and it started to feel like Pickles started to get use to everything that goes on. However right when she was getting use to everything, we load up our trailer and go camping. She was not expecting that let me tell you that. My dad wanted to try something with Pickles. He was wondering what would happen if he took her off the leash. He did that and she started sniffing around. Everything was going okay, until the other dog walked by.

When the other dog walked by, she went crazy. She started running towards the other dog to play. My brother, Mr. Davis and his kids (the people we were camping with), my mom, my dad, and I took off running after her. I was faster than the others so I almost had her until she went under some bushes. My brother almost had her on the other side but then lost her. My dad eventually grabbed her. She ran from us thinking we were playing a game with her.

One of the problems that we were having was that Pickles was barking like crazy, inside, outside, you name it. But no barking compared to her barking when we took her on a walk. She would go insane! We got so tired of her crazy barking that we went to Pet Co. and got a Pet Corrector. A Pet Corrector is a spray can that makes the sound that all kinds of cats, lions, tigers, cheetahs, leopards, any kind makes when they are  mad. The first time we used it was at camp. It worked like a charm. She did not bark after that.

When we got home, we took her on a walk. She started barking and my dad sprayed the Pet Corrector and Pickles gave him a very funny look. If she could talk, she would have said, "I thought you left that thing at camp." When my dad kept walking she laid down in the grass and stayed there. My dad had to pick her up to get her to keep walking. She did not walk fast at all. She looked like one depressed dog.

After that she realized that every time she barked, that is what was coming after. She is learning very fast and that is good because we would not want the neighbors complaining about it. Again, I am sorry that I have not been posting every day, but I will try to post every other day. When school starts again I will be posting once every week.
