Last weekend, just like many other summer nights, I decided to take Mason to the dog park for some much needed exercise. Usually, I walk him in on leash, with just his training collar. I never worked him in since he was there for fun, and all the distractions would have set him up for failure. Anyway, the problem with the training collar is he pulls untill he chokes himself and allmost rips my arm off. So, last weekend, I decided to put him in one of those harnesses you can find at any petstore. It worked since he couldn't pull me or choke himself, but once we got in the park, it had the wrong affect.
I'd left the harness on him since I figured it would be fine, and there wouldnt be something else for me to hang on too. However, since it fits around him in a similar way, I guess he thought it was his working harness. So, instead of running around like he usually does, he spent most of his time sitting by the bench. I guess this is one of those occasions where I need to be careful about sending mixed messages.
