Melvin Hazen

one day after school this week we went and hiked The Melvin Hazen Trail

nice little loop

short loop

but does a nice little up and down along Rock Creek and a tributary of Rock Creek

Didg did the full loop off leash

staying close all the time

not coming when called

well... comes close when called

but not coming close enough to leashed

so... it is about a slow gentle corralling him

treats help

it is all about training and time

later that week we did another hike in Rock Creek

Pulpit Rock to the fence at Carter Baron Amphitheater and back

good all around

good for the dog

good for the boys

good for me

we had fun skipping stones in the creek

it had been years since we skipped stones in the creek
