Kai Boy Can

My grip strength has gotten weak and it's not possible for me to walk Kai.  I bought the gentle leader a few months ago hoping it would help.  It attaches to the dog’s snout so only gentle tugs are needed to guide your dog.

At first we would train in the backyard twice a day. But it was a chore. Kai just didn’t like it. Training got cut down to once a day. Then once in awhile. Then I quit. Twice.  

When I got back from Japan we started again.

And then finally yesterday we went on a walk.

You can click on the photo below to watch a short video.  Kai Boy did well. I’m so proud of him.

Both of you did so well!
Are you getting arthritis in your hands? Getting old sucks. But I am trying all kinds of stuff to keep fit and healthy. My latest is taking a protein complete shake from Dr. Gundry and a Prebiothrive in the morning. This is to prevent leaky gut - which causes all kinds of autoimmune disorders such as arthritis, etc.

That's a good Kai. Can give him his reward.

Knowing that you used it encouraged me to keep trying.

I had to google "leaky gut". Interesting. I had my hands x-rayed awhile back and it showed signs of osteoarthritis.

LOL. I try to give him treats along the walk, but most times he's too excited to be out to take them.

I'm so happy he finally accepted it.
