Over the last 3 weeks Lotti has learned to walk on a leash. At first all she would do is stand and look all around her. She was overwhelmed by all the open space and new sights and sounds of the neighbourhood. Although she was quite comfortable going out in the fenced backyard wandering around and exploring things, the front street was an entirely different situation. After several times just standing out front she finally took a few steps. We went our 2-3 times each day and after about 8 days we made it to the end of the driveway! We let her dictate where we went and how fast... believe me a snail could keep pace! Once she found a route she did not want to vary from it at first. After 3 weeks we can now walked about 1/2 km around the block and we are now able to dictate where we will go, but Lotti still decides on how fast we will go. It won't be long until she is a pro!!
