Hi, we are back with some update of our weekly therapeutic pack walk. This week we have Ginger (golden retriever), Mia (singapore special), Xabi (shetland sheepdog), Gus (water springer spaniel) not forgetting our very own Hyper (border collie), along with Olive and Lady Mae ( both singapore special)
Our usual route will start at robertson quay and we will walk down to either esplanade or gardens by the bay and back, total we will usually take about 3hrs for the whole walk. Of course, not forgetting hydrating the dogs and stopping a few times if some of them need to catch up the stamina 🙂
Mia used to be very skittish while out for walk, shes afraid of alot things from cyclists to people crossing to vehicle, with the help of the pack, she’s more comfortable now, not as reactively as before when she sees cyclist going pass. I still remember vividly the first time i walk her pass a cyclist, she totally shut down and just into a prey mode, panicking and desperately looking to hide! As you can see while on pack walk, mia will be always inner side so they will be dogs “protecting” and “comforting” her fear, and now we have thought that to sit when cyclists approach, and only proceed only after the cyclist have gone pass us. We are happy to see the improvement on her so is her Daddy 🙂
Apart from therapeutic pack walk training, its also a good exercise for them going for a long walk weekly, just like Xabi and Gus, who joined us for a good exercise, socializing and playtime with the other dogs 🙂
We have our Pack Walk weekly either on saturday or sunday morning!
