WALKING
Continued from Page 1B
“The leash is for safety rea-
sons,” Vencill said. “On a trail,
you don’t know what you’ll
encounter. In our county we
have cougar and bear. People
need to be mindful of other
people and other animals.”
She said these include other
dogs, horses and even the oc-
casional llama. She said that
if you are in an area where
there is no one around then
you can let your dog off the
leash to run around and have
a good time.
Also, don’t assume that all
dogs like each other. If you
are walking toward another
person with their dog, on a
path, for safety’s sake, stop
several feet away and ask
the person if their dog likes
other dogs. If the person says
yes, then you can slowly ap-
proach with your dog. If tails
are raised and there is a lot
of nose sniffi ng and tail wag-
ging, it is probably safe to say
the dogs like each other or
at least are willing to accept
one another. This is called the
“meet and greet.”
Vencill reminds people to,
“always get permission and
keep it cheerful,” when doing
the meet and greet.
But what if the meet and
greet doesn’t go well?
“If one growls, don’t pull
back,” she said. This lifts the
dog’s front legs off the ground
and makes it look bigger to
the other dog. She said the
proper way is to give a short
corrective snap on the leash
and pull the dog’s head back
toward you which gets the
focus away from the other
dog and back on you. Then
move back away from the
other dog. As always, offer
lots of praise for coming back
around to you and, “try not to
make a huge deal out of it,”
she said.

ers while walking with your

Wallowa County has some
excellent venues for walk-
ing. A popular route is past
Les Schwab’s, down the path
behind the hospital, around
the assisted living facility
and on the sidewalk in front
of the hospital and back to
Schwab’s. This walk can be
extended by turning right at
the entrance to the assisted
living facility and heading
west to the stop sign at Golf
Course Road, turning right
and walking to the golf
course. Round trip from Les
Schwab, this route is ap-
proximately two miles.
