Walked both boys on Friday. It was a mess at the start. Volos hasn't been walked in eons, so he had to "stop and smell the roses" aka stop every 3 feet to sniff & mark.
Peryn being Peryn would nip at Volos if he got too close, mark over Volos' mark, & just was an ornery jerk. Near the end of the walk it seemed like they were chilling out and we had a good end to it.
I walked Lada on Saturday. Not happening again for a bit. She's too hyper at the start. Having to sniff everything --pulling on my leash. Once we hit the trail, she was pretty freaking good. However, not a fan of the start of the walk.
Today after work, I made a 2nd attempt with the boys. Yeah, not going to walk them together. Volos likes to take his time to sniff & mark. Peryn has to "keep him in check". When another dog started barking at us, Peryn snapped at Volos.
Peryn does this with all the dogs when a situation may turn into them "reacting". He shuts them down before it can happen. Problem is, they don't always plan to react. Then Peryn is just being a jerk.
i'm going to start walking Volos separately since Peryn gets to walk with us when we walk together.
