Motivation to Exercise

I was so excited yesterday. The collars I bought for my dogs came in the mail!! Now I have two out of control, drag you down the road, bull-headed dogs. I was looking online for training aids and came across some head leads. After reading the reviews at 3 different sites I decided to order them. I took the first one out of the package, read the directions/advice booklet and set off to see if it would work. OMG, it was unbelievable!! She shook her head for a little while and pawed at her face and really gave me a fit once we took off, she practically rolled like a crocodile. After perhaps 10-15 minutes though I finally had a dog walking at my side with no pulling! I went back and tried the other dog, same results. I am so happy I can finally walk my dogs...together even. I took a chance and put my son in the stroller and strapped them to it and felt such joy to have a dog at each side and to be able to talk my son along. We are still far from perfect, but I think now I will be getting out more to walk. Last night I think we walked for a total of an hour between the 3 trips out.

Now I have the motivation to get out and exercise.
