Riley went to P/T on Wed and did 15 minutes on the treadmill at varying speeds and depths of water. Cindy cleared him to start to walk up hills. Most of you know where I live so we pretty much have to go up a hill to get anywhere. I took Riley on 3 walks yesterday, 2 of them up my hill to where it just started to level off. Today again I took him up the hill to where it levels off. Each time I turned around to head home, Riley refused to go. He knows our normal walk was up to the top of my street then down, around and back home so I think he was a little confused. For those of you who didn't know he was petrified of sewers, he is. There are only certain sewers though that he is afraid of. As we passed the "scary" sewer, I have to go very slowly and then give him a treat when he finally walks by it. You never knew he was such a "sissy" boy did you? Back to therapy tomorrow. It is such an awesome experience to go there and watch what Cindy can do for him. Riley is making great progress ( except the sewers) and I anticipate a continual improvement.
