Halti Collar Day One

Today Mother made me wear a peculiar strap contraption on my face. I believe it was intended to keep me from pulling her her arm out of joint when I see a particularly appealing squirrel that I wish to give chase. I seem to recall that we tried something like this once before -- at puppy kindergarten -- but I didn't care for the previous version. I expressed my disdain by rolling around and scratching at my face and generally looking like a spaz.

I must confess this one was preferable. I fussed with it a bit, but only at home. I enjoy our walks so much that I frankly forgot I was wearing the headgear. And Mother seemed to like it, so I suppose we'll try it again tomorrow.

Oh! I have a date with Amy for an outing at the park tomorrow. Perhaps I'll wear my new contraption. I do think it makes me look dignified.

Mother found this link to a training article on the Halti and she now says we'll begin again tomorrow adding treats.

I like treats.
