Sonic's Progress Report in Leaps & Bounds
Can't think of a better way to test a dogs training & temperament
than taking them on along on holiday. He joined us at the beach, in the
tent, motel, hotel, the wilds of the north, the city streets of
Kingston, and even came along to watch military exercises (that was a
surprise to all of us).
For background, Sonics from the Caribbean Islands, a street bred dog, free-range 'pet'.
He came to us shy, skittish, did not know how to play. Had to teach him how to play with a human (tug & frisbee). He was afraid of lots thing, including treats and hands and flappy things.
But now he has survived and thrived camping out at windy, stormy, Agawa Bay, did not show undue fear when a thunderstorm boomed and raged overhead (amazing, because Lake Superior throws some scary weather), settled in to sleep at a campsite (oastler lake) that was WAY too close to a busy railway, and did just fine when we walked into the Royal Military College Reunion Games day (running, screaming people).
Well, here he is playing tug at the beach--a milestone! First time playing outside of our front yard.

Sonic & the big wave
Sonic, beach bum
Sonic on the rocks
Wolfe Tango (military games-war-paint, costumes, yelling, screaming barbarian hordes--& fun)
Sonic still going strong after seven hours of a city walking tour, traffic, people, dogs, geese, & a fighter jet taking off directly overhead
