Please don't worry that I'm angry with Hari or frightened of her - if she had been trying to hurt me I would have been seriously hurt - she is a dog who bit a mobile phone in half in one playful chew. I just want to manage things so that I never get to the point of being frightened of her. Hari's main focus has been playing with Ted on walks and we have put a stop to that as she really then doesn't give a rats bum about us when she has lovely Ted to play with. She does really like playing hide and seek so lots more finding things might be a great way of creating focus. The reason I'm going to try a treadmill is so that Hari can then use the walk as much for mental stimulation as energy burning, she will hopefully be calmer and more able to enjoy herself rather than being ever ready to explode (even after a 10k run Hari is just warmed up and ready to get on the go), she has truely phenominal energy even my mum's collies have never had as much energy and endurance as Hari. Tom says we should put her on a street rat diet ;) (as she is just to highly adapted at creating energy from food). I do have a slight fear that the treadmill may create a monster who just becomes ever fitter - I have visions of her setting it up when we are out and secretly training. :hyper:
