Today was my off day for running, I may need it during the off season but my dog certainly does not. I snowshoed with my family while he sat home and slept. The result is my typically crazy dog is bouncing off the walls- quite literally at times. Being brilliant ( more sarcasm), I decided today would be a good day to measure him for a harness so I could order it.
BAD idea! Owen is a strange dog, he is hard to motivate but at the same time becomes overstimulate very quickly. It always makes him interesting to train. As I quickly discovered measuring fits into the overstimulating category (along with brushing, people coming home, squirrels, deer ...) It seemed simple enough, have the dog stand stay(a cue he knows well) then take three simple measurements. I wish it was that simple. My attempts at measuring went more like this, "Owen stay. Hold still. No you can't eat the tape measure!I am not hurting you. Waiiiiiiiit!!" I tried having my mom hold him but then he acted like I was killing him (he is such a complainer....). Some how I managed to get the three measurement, but I will be remeasuring tomorrow- AFTER our 10 mile long run. Hopefully he will be to tired to care:)
