This morning I took Nova out for a long walk to Lake Lynn. Nova has been barking quite a bit at other people and dogs around the neighborhood and needs some practice with being a bit more polite around other dogs and people. Lake Lynn usually has quite a few dogs and lots of people, even early in the morning. It also has geese and ducks, which Nova hasn't seen yet.
When we got to the lake, Nova saw a couple other dogs and barked for a few minutes... but she soon got over it and actually did really well on the walk! She got to meet and sniff several other dogs, and was really well behaved around other dogs - most of the time not even pulling towards them when they passed, and no barking! We definitely need to go there more often, it's a great place for meeting strangers and other dogs. We also need to get her some off leash time with other well-behaved dogs, but are somewhat wary of the dog park.
