old black is a dog

Chapter 52 Dog and Human Socialization
For the elderly in the community, their life is lonely and lonely.

They came here from all over the world, nominally to follow their children to the big city to enjoy the blessings, but in fact, in this unfamiliar place, what they can do is to help their children cook, eat and drink every day. Take care of the children and do hygiene.

During the day, the children have to go to work, so they can only stay at home.

And at night, the children may still go out to socialize, eat, drink and have fun, and live their chic life, while the old people can only wait at home alone.

Under such circumstances, their only happiness is to go downstairs, take a walk in this picturesque community, meet some old friends, chat, play cards, and pass the time.

After living in this community for more than two years, Yang Mu is quite familiar with many elderly people around, and sometimes greets them when they meet, but most of them he can't remember their names.

He felt that if he wanted to socialize the prince, the most suitable objects would be these old people.

Old people are more tolerant.

In the community, a dog that is not on a leash is easily criticized.

Even if it is a well-trained dog, young mothers will say that it is easy to scare their children when they see it, and young men will say that it is very immoral when they see it.

Only old people don't.

Even old people who don't like dogs or are afraid of dogs will mostly just step aside silently and move on after the dogs pass by.

And those old people who are not afraid of dogs and love dogs will stop, say hello to the dog, try to pet the dog, and maybe even feed it something delicious.

With the elderly, the dog does not have to worry about being kicked or tail pulled.

Only a brat can do that kind of thing.

After arriving at the big lawn, Yang Mu didn't continue to take the prince to approach the old man, but took it to spread wild on the lawn.

Training requires a combination of work and rest.

Also, dogs are wild animals, they need to be run and chased a lot.

Yang Mu himself needs it too.

Just walking and trotting doesn't feel like he's getting the amount of exercise he needs.

You know, a working border collie has to run dozens of kilometers every day.

So he took the prince, avoided the crowd, and chased on the lawn.

The eyes of the people around the lawn were gradually attracted by the two dogs.

They felt that, with these two lively, enthusiastic dogs, this game of chase brought them novelty and joy.

Yang Mu could also feel the happiness of the old people.

At the same time, he also knew that the prince was also very happy that he took it to play such games, and would often jump high while running, jumping over some obstacles that were not considered obstacles.

This is a very jumping dog.

Yang Mu was excited to play, and began to overcome obstacles.

As a frisbee dog, Yang Mu's jumping ability will naturally not lose to the prince.

At the junction of the lawn and the sidewalk, there are some neatly trimmed green belts that are one meter wide and half a meter high. This is Yang Mu's obstacle.

He ran from the lawn to the sidewalk, then jumped high, and jumped into the lawn again with a very graceful posture.

The prince who was chasing behind him was dumbfounded. He stopped suddenly at the edge of the green belt, and then turned back to the lawn to look for Yang Mu.

Haha, Xiao Mian, compare jumping with me!
The onlookers were also dumbfounded.

Wow, this black dog can jump too much!

Jump so high, so beautiful!
Listening to those voices of praise, Yang Mu had more fun, and he jumped several times in a row.

What made him feel regretful was that the prince was still a little timid, and he didn't dare to jump over after several attempts.

Yang Mu didn't force it.

He knows that the courage to jump needs to be practiced by increasing the difficulty little by little. This obstacle is indeed a bit difficult for the prince for the time being.

After playing for a while, the prince was already out of breath, so Yang Mu stopped.

Time to start socializing the prince.

Yang Mu observed for a while, and chose two old people sitting on stools by the sidewalk as his targets.

He gave an instruction to the prince who was panting on the ground, motioning for it to follow, then turned and walked towards the two old men.

The prince was stunned for a moment, but followed obediently.

Yang Mu went straight to the two old men and squatted down.

The prince stopped far away, looked at Yang Mu and wondered what he was going to do.

Among the two old men, one of them seemed to be a little afraid of dogs. Yang Mu was so close that he dodged to the side in fright.

Another old man said: "Old Wu, it's okay. This dog is called Lao Hei. He is very friendly to people. I have never seen him bite anyone. He also has the unique skill of catching a Frisbee with one hand."

After finishing speaking, he bent down and asked Yang Mu: "Old Hei, why did you come out to play by yourself? Where is your master?"

While talking, he reached out and touched Yang Mu's head.

In order to train the prince, I endure.

Yang Mu immediately forgot the habit of not touching his head.

This is why he targeted these two old people, because he knew the old man in front of him. Yang Mu often met him when he was walking his dog, and he knew that he was very friendly to dogs.

He just didn't know the old man's name.

Yang Mu raised a paw at the old man.

The old man held his paw in surprise, shook it lightly, and said in his mouth, "Oh, Old Hei, you really know me, you're so smart."

It could be seen that the old man was very happy with his move.

The old man next to him named Lao Wu seemed not so afraid anymore, and said in agreement: "Old Li, this dog is really smart."

Well, Old Wu, here's a reward for you!
Yang Mu turned to him and raised another paw.

The old man flinched a little, but boldly stretched out his hand to catch it, and praised: "This dog is really smart, such a dog is worth raising."

After finishing speaking, he still had the courage to touch Yang Mu's head.

Yang Mu endured it again.

He was thinking that not only dogs are afraid of people, but people are also afraid of dogs. This is the social phobia of people and dogs.

Now he has not started to train the prince's socialization, but first cured an old man's fear of dogs, am I doing a good thing?

It feels good.

But it's time to get down to business.

He turned his head to look at the prince who was looking at him curiously not far away, and motioned for it to come over.

The power of example is endless.

Although the prince was still a little scared, he mustered up his courage and walked over.

But as soon as it got close, it instinctively wanted to retreat, Yang Mu released a trace of coercion in time, and the prince stopped immediately.

"Hey, Old Hei, this is the friend you brought, a very handsome puppy!"

Lao Li praised it, and then stretched out his hand to touch the prince's armor-cut head.

The first step was achieved so smoothly.

Yang Mu made persistent efforts and took the prince to find a new target, starting his journey of shaking hands and being patted.

People around the lawn saw another miraculous scene.

A dog is not afraid of people, and even knows how to shake hands with people!

The effect is good.

Under the leadership of Yang Mu, the prince gradually got used to accepting the presence and caress of strangers.

Although it is still a little timid.

But Yang Mu believes that it won't be long before its socialization training will be successfully completed.

At this time, a voice came from afar: "Prince, why are you here?"

Oops, I met Prince's mother.
