Harley-quin Romance

It took my new client Harley a few minutes to warm up to me at our first lesson on Saturday. It wasn’t love at first sight. He eyed me skeptically when I began working with him and offering him treats, taking them so tentatively that I was worried he didn’t like them.
It happens. The first day of training is probably kind of freaky from a dog’s perspective.
“Who is this person, and why is she giving me greasy treats for no reason?”
Thankfully, he warmed to the process, and to me, which enabled me to get close enough to him to check out his gorgeous eyelashes:
Look at those things! Stunning!
Harley needs some help coping with scary stuff outside, like other dogs, cyclists and joggers. He tends to lunge and act surly, like another dog I know …
We took a quick walk during our lesson and saw a dog and a biker, and young Harley barely gave them a glance. One lesson and the guy is already hooked on training … maybe there’s a storybook ending for Harley and me in the future after all.
