PACK AMO! 👏👏
I took our Colorado Mountain Dog Palmer who’s 1.5 and 135lbs went for a long walk circuit in Scheels. I had Palmer by the harness with only my 3rd finger through the ring and a loose grasp of the harness. I was also purposely weaving in and out of aisles, taking sharp turns and steering him with a small tug to the left or right on the “T” of the harness near his neck. Palmer stayed in sync with my pace and by my side the whole visit. If he became distracted I simply tightened my grip on his harness, and he would refocus and look forward and once again syncing with my pace instantly, the distraction forgotten. It was AMAZING!!!! I heard comments as I was walking by patrons “wish my dog behaved and walked like that!” I felt so proud. Pretty sure we were Prancing! Haha! During past visits Palmer would be jumping and barking to get another dog or a human to play. He would go right up to kids and people for pets, uninvited. Prior to attending Pack Amo, Palmer would not have been focused on my body language, and was comfortable and projecting confidence as he was today. This was our first visit to Scheels since attending Pack Amo since October 2023. Palmer kept his head and forward looking with confidence. As I was walking he did not seek our attention by patrons passing unless they asked to met Palmer and only when I stopped. There were four other dogs in Scheels and a ton of people! When we left two other dogs were entering Scheels, that was the only moment Palmer “broke” his form He was excited but did not jump or bark. He did pull a little but not the usual pull my arm off, I had loosened my hold when we were exiting and he had full leash extension. I did a quick correction and Palmer called down and returned to me and focused. We then walked to my parking spot with a LOOSE lease and he was right next to me! You could have knocked me over with a feather! Pack Amo takes multiple 6-8 dog pack walks loose leashed! Palmer attends Pack Amo daycare once a week, and occasionally twice a week in the cold months. What initially attracted me to Pack Amo is the pick Palmer up at our house!! When he’s dropped off Palmer is worn out and happy! He then sleeps for 20+hrs! Hahaha!! BTW-we cannot say anything that’s similar to “Pack” or “Amo” on a day he isn’t attending PackAmo or he will instantly head to the front window howling/whining looking for his ride and Carson. Heehee. Aaron and his crew are great!! I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Pack Amo!
