Walking a Bengal, Chapter 2

Описание: Hey youtube! Here's Enzo going for a walk two years after my first video

Enzo is now approximately 3.5 years old and here's his progress he's made with his leash training. He's MUCH more confident now and I can call it more of a walk than before where it was more of him just slowly exploring and smelling things, with me in tow. In my old complex I lived in, there wasn't a ton of foot-traffic and I usually took him out in the evenings after work, so one thing he never got used to was being confronted by strangers and other animals while on the leash. I think this will be our next hurdle. My new complex has much more homes in it and a lot more foot-traffic and pets. He's still extremely wary of these things, but I try to make it a point to stop the walk, kneel and pet him to calm him down when he gets spooked.

We've upgraded to a 45lb retractable dog leash. This makes me a lot more confident he has zero chance of breaking the leash.

You might notice a big "thing" on Enzo's collar in the beginning of the video. That's a Loc8tor tracking tag in a silicone water-resistant sleeve, attached to his collar. I highly recommend this. It's saved me big headaches when he's escaped in the past.

Video shot with a GoPro HD Hero 3 "Black" in 2.7k/30fps. That monstrous file was then run through Cineform Studio and transcoded to 1080p/30fps uncompressed AVI. Then I transcoded to Windows Media (WMV) in the highest quality settings I could use. The results? Beautiful. This little camera is amazing!
