I went out to the trails with only M'Opus today. It was a little too late to profit from morning chill, therefore hotter than ideal to run a dog. I thought that since I could expect Mopus to be slower, I would dare some single track....Wow! I didn't expect such training benefit from running on a single track.
On the narrow twisty trail, M'Opus was very attentive to what was going on behind; more than ever, I felt her attentive to my commands and directions. When we came to intersections she was clearly looking for instructions. I think that short runs on single track might become part of our training, I think there is an opportunity there to reinforce good communication and response between me and my dog.
