Bike Training

Hello to Everyone!

We visited in Kangasniemi and Heinola last weekend. We met also acquaintance girls: Wilma the Silky Terrier, Finnish Lapphund Halla and Maremmano Abruzezze Asta. Otso tried hard impress them as he has a habit. Also I greeted them when it was possible. You see Otso was freely in a pen and I was chained outside of it. When Asta or Halla was out they were in a pen next of where Otso was. When our masters were at the place I was in the same pen with Otso.

Yesterday our female master trained us with her bike after long time. As we have a habit I was trained at first. There was lot of new messages to read and sign on the roadside. We saw few hunters too. They were hunting rabbits and while we were chatting ran a rabbit a hound behind near of us. I would to go willingly with them. Otso told that he didn't heard or saw that hound until when returning. The same hunters he had even seen when going and returning.

This biking was a positive surprise and experience. Both dogs had good condition and mood because they trotted lightly all 10 kilometers. Both were obedient and obeyed commands fine.

With Nalle the start was very rapid and the first 100 meters he galloped and then to trot without any stops to check is Nätti there. When he saw the hound he was a little unwilling to continue but moved still. At the returning place after five kilometers he improved to go faster to return way.

Otso had passion to go but was a pit more careful at start than Nalle. Otso speed up indeed after five meters. When returning we stopped to discuss an another hunter and their hound started bark again. Otso was listening it but didn't get at to the forest. When we left the start was now more speedy.

My knee which I injured at work about a month ago didn't get sore. I did wear surely a knee support before I left. It is good to continue from this. I hope the slippery road conditions doesn't come yet!
