When there were dogs, I can always get him to focus on me with food, or occasionally just praise, he never go crazy and I have been taking him to walk/run everyday to give him the exercise that he needs, and he was improving with his pulling, stop and response to his name.
But today, Honeybun acted really weird after we sat outside a cafe, there weren't many people, pretty quiet but Honeybun got up few times and almost knocked over our table. I calmed him down, he was then ok.
The weather suddenly turned really bad so we decided to quickly finish and go.
On our way back we had to across a street, it was pouring so I walked a little bit faster than normal holding the leash with both of my hands, all of the sudden, Honeybun started to run, at the same time I call out 'Stop', and getting myself to stand still as I was crossing a street, but he completely ignored me and kept running causing me to lose balance and fall real hard on the concrete floor with both of my knees.
At that point, Jensen FINALLY notice Honeybun ran with me on the ground trying to get up, he chased after Honeybun, Honeybun turned around with no intention to stop so I quickly hold on to his leash, he finally stopped, all this happened within less than 2 minutes.
I stood at the spot where I stopped Honeybun bending forward as both of my knees were in so much pain, my pants was ripped open around my knees areas and my hand was bleeding because I hit so hard on the concrete floor, I stood there for about 2 minutes then I managed to get to a chair by myself.
My knees hurts a lot, I will go to the doctor if they are not better tomorrow, I can't handle Honeybun at this moment, I know as a responsible owner, we are 24 hours on call, but I just need to calm myself down and let my knees feels better!
I think Honeybun can feel how upset I am because when we got home I put him in the crate, he just quietly sleep inside without make any sounds. What happened to Honeybun today can be a combinations of factors, it never happened before.
It is so frustrating when I have been training him for 10 months already, things like this should not happen, but I am a responsible person, it is extra hard with his high energy level and over the top bubbly personality, but I will never give up, Honeybun will never be a backyard dog, no matter how hard it is.
