Cath, Yogi (a.k.a. dave), Yogi the dog, and I set out at 8:30a.m. for a great hike up Flume Slide Trail, over to Liberty and down Liberty Sprigns Trail. Yogi the dog carried his own pack for the the first time, which worked out very well since Dave had to carry him by the handle on his pack up...

Sabrina, Thanks for your post. It is very helpful and encouraging. He's not an easy dog to train, but I know putting effort into training now will pay off for both him and I in the long run. It doesn't help that this is the first dog I've ever trained! Thankfully we have some good dog...

Thanks again to everyone for their posts. We have been working on heeling in dog obedience class. It's no small task with my strong willed pup who is entering his adolescents! Thank you for posting a link to the dog whisperer...it is VERY helpful.

Thank you all very much for your comments. I have read other dog posts that have become controversial and I'm glad this hasn't happened here. All of your comments are helpful. We live a country type setting with a couple of neighbors. Our puppy goes to doggy daycare two days a week to help...

We (Yogi & I) hiked E. Osceola and Osceola from the Kanc via Greeley Pond Trail. We got a late start (10:45 a.m.). The day was beautiful, hot at times but there was a nice breaze. The first 1.3 miles to the intersection was mostly flat and quite easy. Osceola trail goes to the right from this...
