Back in the USA!

We have landed in Seattle!

We will board a plane for Eugene in 3 hours and then home. I am very grateful to be home safe and sound. It will be much more interesting to watch the Kathmandu politics from the USA rather than a front row seat.



My favorite game to play with the Nepali handlers was "Connect the Dots". After using and practicing with soccer dots in the compound, we took it on the road so to speak. The attached pictures show our daily 9 AM walks down the river bed. We would take each dog's morning kibble and feed them breakfast using river rocks as our markers to click. By the 6th day, there much more slack leash to see. You could see the handlers grow in confidence with the technique.

The scenery was possibly the best in the world for loose leash walking practice. This had been my first view of the Himalayas for me. The beauty absolutely brings tears to your eyes.

I will post lots of pictures and reports on other clicker training games.

Thank you for positive thoughts sent to us, it helped.
