Keeping it Loose

I'm a puller- in transition. I used to be a surging ahead maniac. I get it now, I speed up, fosterpops slows down and even stops and (I hate this) we may even go back the other way and start over. And then there's the "hey Revo, look!". Over and over. Just as I am getting all hopped up about some crazy cat scuttling under a car. Wait, where was I, what, huh? - it just messes with my concentration. I guess that's the point. The good news is, I enjoy our long walks and the extra treats are sweet. Am I completely reformed- no. Is there still a lot of slowing down and verbal direction like 'easy'- yes. Is it getting better and better every day? Oh yeah, I'm keeping it loose, most of the time.
