Daily Walk & Show Walk

Tampines Park Connector is just behind my house and this connector is one of the jogging tracks in the neighbourhood. It connect Pasir Ris Town Park and Sunplaza Park. Distance of 1.78 km. I walk Ben everyday along this track at his own pace. I bare this in mind whenever I am walking with Ben "Don't spoil the Gait". It is a show dog's instinct to move in his manner with his structure.

Ben is 5 months and 11 days (today) and I am walking him daily for not more then 3 km. He is allow to go on his pace but always on the leash. A few of my schnauzer friends who are into show had given me their advise to start exercising early but not to the extend to stress the dog. I have seen some of their show schnauzers and their muscles are real hard and never spongy soft.

I practice "Show Walk" with Ben at one of the Badminton Court nearby my house. I put the Show Leash on him and encourage him to gait nicely beside me. I am also learning how to stack Ben properly both on the table and on the ground. It is not easy as what I think. It requires skills, knowledge and experience which I am still begging for more now. Practice! Practice! till I Get It! Now I need a mirror on the wall, to see the "nice" job I have done on the table. Haaa.. terrible..
