Our Beach Adventure Day 2 -LAT

Our first full day was busy. We just managed to get the site because there was a cancellation. It was in many ways a great site. We were directly across from the beach access, just a short path, close to the restrooms, but far enough away that we had some peace and several trees to provide shade for us and the dogs. However because of these factors as well as the play ground at one end of the camp ground we had a constant stream of traffic walking past our site.
I live in the middle of no where, so Vivre isn't used to having strange people walking around unless we are out and about. She was very loud and truthfully a little scary. So we spent a lot of time playing the Look At That game when children walked past the site. She was a lot worse with the kids than with the adults. Though she was wonderful with bikes. I had Tess ride her bike up and down the barn while we played LAT and apparently it stuck. I don't think she barked at a bicycle once the whole trip. I am shocked I didn't make her sick from all the treats, but it did seem to help. Truthfully given her behaviour I think it was just a little much for her. A strange place and strange people and a new strange schedule.
She was much more interested in walking in the water today, primarily since it was either water or hot sand. She also started to get used to the waves. We walked all over the park and she was great with just about everybody when we were out and about. The only exceptions were meeting people on the beach path and this one poor guy picking up shells who she decided must be a serial killer. To be fair to Vivre, Yoda, who is wonderful with everybody did pick one man who for some reason he didn't like and he barked everytime he walked past the site.
At this point she was being good when people walked past, though there were times the whole weekend when she just went over threshold before I realized what happened. But she went right back to being friendly on the way home at the rest stops. She seems to do best if I have her engaged. Even if she is just a little focused on me. Once she grows up a bit it won't be such a problem, since it will be easier to just keep her under cue. But I am still going to work on it.
