A First Walk with the Pet Sitter🐾 — Toyonaka, Osaka

Barley the Labradoodle is only five months old🐶 Even at five months, he’s already about the size of a medium-sized dog!

At our first meeting before the visits began, I learned that Barley was quite a timid boy😁 He hid behind his owner throughout our chat💦

He usually goes for walks with his dad, but would he walk with his sitter, too?!

Our first walk🐾
As soon as Barley saw me, he ran away💦💦 When his mom picked him up and handed him over, he braced his front paws against me in protest😂 But once his collar and lead were on, he seemed eager to go for a walk⁉️

Off we went, outside💨

Once Barley was out… he didn’t start walking right away…😂

In fact, he sat down in front of the house—was this a little protest? Once I took him a short distance away from home, he began walking, still looking a little unsure🐶🐾

On our walks, Barley would stop whenever a person or dog came by and watch until they had passed⚠️ If he heard a dog barking somewhere, he would look all around💦 And if he didn’t want to go in a particular direction, nothing would persuade him🙅 After a short loop around the neighborhood like this, he was ready to head home💨
