Half a dozen beautiful deer bounded across the road as we drove up...I would've been interested to see Alfie's response to them, but he was lying down on the floorboard like a good boy and never saw them.
Of course, even on a relaxing hike through the woods Alfie practices his job. We worked on loose-leash walking...
...finding a seat...
...here he's finding a trash can.
Spring flowers were everywhere.
These birds have a nice view from their nest!
Each blossom is like a work of art.
I admit, I didn't actually ask him to find this bench at first! On our last walk here (over a month ago) I had Alfie find me this seat. When we went back yesterday, he remembered exactly where it was and eagerly wanted to take me there again. I had him "steady" first and then told him that yes, he could "find the seat."
Ha ha, I call this picture "treat bag cam"!
Alfie found the narrowest place to cross, sat politely...and didn't want to budge! I had to step over first (not even a big step, as you can see!) and encourage him across, silly boy! And this, out of a dog who loves water. Go figure!
Good walk, buddy!

Love the photos and great loose leash walking! We will use your post as an inspiration after our disastrous attempt yesterday at loose leash walking around damp, squishy, and wonderfully-smelling wooded areas! :)
Sounds like such a delightful walk with such a good boy! I love spring.
Alfie!!!! You are just such a love and pal! Great walk, wonderful job finding the bench, and narrow creek crossing!!! Bravo sweet friend!
Hugs and snaggle-tooth kisses,
Sierra Rose
