Anyone have any off leash dog issues? I.E off leash dogs acting like assholes or running away?
>hike the chief today. Going down from the first peak after doing the loop. find a sick hiking stick.
>Going down the stairs i see a pair of qt american girls petting a dog. The dog takes a likeing to my stick and starts to follow me. I assume it's their dog and enjoy having a dogbro to join me on my descent.
>They ask if the dog is mine, "Nope"... They then brief me that they found the dog running around the trail and have had trouble settling it down. The dog, Jake, is crazy about my stick so he seems to enjoy hanging around me.
>I manage to get a number off Jakes tag and get a hold of the owner. Apparently the owners partner is on the hill with his two cousins and the dog got away. The owner says this dog has difficulty holding attention to things.
>I get a hold of the partner, we arrange a meeting spot near where I found the dog. I'm not goin back up because im exhausted. Jake really admires my hiking stick thou and he seems to be sticking with me so me and Jake play fetch with this 5 foot long hiking stick in a narrow, empty section of the path.
>20 minutes later one of the cousins comes and grabs the dog, putting him on a leash.
Jake was a rad dog, but I get the feeling that he has dog ADD and he needs to be on a leash. Good feeling tho, wish the qt's stuck around so we could chat. Oh well.
Here's my hiking buddy. It's my friends doxi pincher mix. It was a street dog growing up so it doesn't like leashes. After a few hikes it has gotten more comfortable with me and a bit more obedient. On our first solo hike together he was constantly running far up ahead on the way down which worried me. Last few times I've come to the realization that if i do a loop he wont run far ahead because it's all new to him..
