Day 209: Chased Down By a Random Man 😳

🔥

A bit of a weird one today. My morning session cancelled and I ended up doing more admin than anything else... but that wasn't the weird bit.

I was mid-training session with Lupe at the new spot on Bedminster Downs when I see a guy walking purposefully towards me. I figured he was probably going to ask me if I was a dog trainer or something but that wasn't it.

All he wanted was to talk about Lupe. He said he saw me and pulled off the road to talk 😳

He asked me what he was, then proceeded to disagree and tell me he's a Dutch Shepherd and there's no GSD in him. This would probably trigger some people but I honestly couldn't care less about anyone else's opinion 😅

For about twenty minutes he followed me around talking about the Mali he had years ago. I got the impression from bits he told me that he was an Irish Gypsy, and seemingly a lonely one at that. Whilst I think he was actually just desperate to talk to someone I think he would have scared a lot of people with the way he came up on me.

Anyway, before I was interrupted the training was going well. I think the food lure for the heeling is completely unnecessary now so I'll get Alex to take a look at that on Thursday. I'm also getting reps in on the positions out of motion which is fine, just needs a lot more reps to perfect.
