Trip to park cancelled due to bad dog sydrome!

Wow, I have a hard time with one dog at the park, much less 3. I'm sorry your trip was not enjoyable. Hey you 3 C's.....you'd better start listening to your mommy!! Or it will be no more trips for you!!
I hope next time will be better for all involved.

and to think...i want more!! haha

Three can be a handful at times - when I had three at once, I decided 3 was too many for me.

I NEVER roll the car windows down far enough for them to get through, never ever. My last car had an automatic window button on the arm of the door... I looked over once and saw Rosie standing on it with her head out the window & and the window was going all the way down! I turned it off.

Also, I use a leash to get them to the car, even if it's a short way. Don't know about labs, but with huskies, you can never be too careful. They're gone in a flash, and they think it's a great game to stay one step out of your reach.

You may want to try these two things for your next trip, and see if it doesn't go a easier on you. The dogs won't be all nervous from getting yelled at either.

normally i dont roll the back windows down quite so fair but corona being so much shorter then the other two i didnt think it was far for the other two to be able to stick their noses out the window and corona just look up at them and stare with her little heart breaking(i could just tell it was hehe) im such a push over!

I always walk the dogs to the truck AND attach them to seat belts immediately. I know they would love to stick their heads out the window, but I don't need vet bills from the junk flying around. And if there was an accident, I wouldn't have to worry about them running off.

It only takes a second to hook them up.

Sorry to hear the trip was cut short because of nawtee doggies, but I have to say I was laughing under my breath because I've had that same experience (well not exactly the same but close enough ) and it's not fun. Now I never take all 3 unless hubby or someone else is along. Three big dogs are quite a lot to handle.
Hope everyone isn't in too much trouble

I find that Sadie is more excited when the weather first gets nice because walks and outings are less frequent in the winter.

Once trips to the park are more frequent she will not take off when off leash or pull when on leash, but for the first real park trip she looks insane walking in every direction with tongue hanging out as though this is the first and last time I will allow her out.

Not to say it's ok for the dogs to be bad, but it is understandable. It's been the same weather here - freezing for so long and now a day of 70 degrees - I am so ready for spring.
