So I bought Mug-Y a nice comfortable vest harness and a lead (diamante - everyone needs a bit of bling) and decided I would leash train him.
After a week of him wearing the harness around the apartment and learning to walk without looking like his legs are only 2 inches long i ventured out into the main corridor with him...it didn't go well...lasted maybe two minutes.
Next day - Tried again and got a liiiiittle better so day after that we ventured outside...
...oh what have i done....
He loves it! Unfortunately he does not understand the concept of night/rain/cold and has taken to howling and scratching at the door to go out...
...I've created a MONSTER!!!
Once we're out we are out for about an hour....this involves niffing every bush/tree/car/pebble, moaning at me if i try to make him go in any direction he doesn't want to, hissing for no apparent reason and sitting....anywhere he wants...even if it's in someones way...they just get shouted at by him!
I love that he's so happy and enjoys it so much but nice weather is something that can't be relied on in England and it appears sphynx don't take well to explainations of weather systems
Will post pics later when I'm on my home computer.
