I have 2 dogs that are not yet 2. I delight in their reaction when they see something for the first time. We need to remember that.
Example, we were driving in the convertible and both dogs moved and looked out the window at full alert. I looked over to figure out what was up and there was a cow. They had never seen a cow. How funny! I hope to walk them near a cow sometime so they can get the full experience.
Also, a rushing stream really confused them. But now, after several visits, they will walk around in it.
I know we have to be sure they respond to our commands so that we can keep them safe, but I also feel it is important and fun to see the world from their view.
