Approach/avoidance

One thing our guy does before heading out on the trail is checking to see if the trail is clear of fellow hikers that may or may not be totally user-friendly. You just never know...some breeds or mixes don't seem one iota threatening, and others? It's usually the tiny canines that make him edgy - cockapoos, Jacks etc. The vibes are out there for sure though, and Casey can always sense that there might be a potential confrontation, or just an obnoxious intrution by a overly playful youngster.



His head's on a swivel here, just before we head out. That's OK though, our rescued guy's come a long way and looks forward to these offleash excursions every time we venture out. Pure approach/avoidance.
