I was concerned when he was a bit younger back in spring he chased the bikes on the park.He no longer chases them and general obedience his good.

Nothing happened but I always train them into wearing one. Sure, they hate it at first though. Then they condition to wearing one as required.

It comes in handy when the vet sees them. I mean, most of us would bite someone who stuck a thermometer up our arse.

I hope you fed him some liver after that. With Fava beans and perhaps a nice Chianti?

Day off today at last,Give Billy a bath ticked off my things to do.

Haha mission!

This is the first wearing of the summit backpack by Jet. I took the video immediately after I put it on him and then I took him for a quick walk. It doesn't seem to bother him. I won't load it for a while though, just to be sure he's ok with it.

Looks very useful! Training's coming along well too, Leigh.
Now you just need a little buggy you can sit in that he can tow about!

A swag across his back and some tucker in those bags and you could travel for weeks,

Summit dog backpack training. Initially with an empty backpack. At 01:07 in the video he reacts perfectly naturally whilst wearing it and takes a shit without issue.



Maybe he's just tolerant... my grandson sits on him and he doesn't bat an eyelid. Follows him everywhere and sits near him whilst he plays with his toys. Herding / guarding instinct no doubt. You'd think he'd know better being 19.

Just kidding, he's 3. I get him to command the dog, so he knows his place. He complies without hesitation. I'm happy for that.

I took him out a few hours after the second video (so 3rd time wearing it) and he was chuffed to put it on, tail wagging. It didn't take him long to make that association. Although, he hasn't been out for a few days due to his op. I've put some little flashing lights on each side. He's jet black and almost invisible in the dark.
