Rusty the Rooster has always been a very unique member of The Herd. He does everything in his own style and on his own time. And that includes walking Rusty the Rooster, a simple event that brings its own challenges.
Many of you have seen his behind the human’s legs walk. We never taught him to do that and have no clue why he does it. But on any walk, he is sure to fall into that rhythm of walking behind the human, swaying from side to side to keep his front paws dropping right where the human’s foot has just been
During a snowy walk around the neighborhood, the human decided to play the games back on The Rooster. He responded and the games escalated
Hope you enjoy:

the houston pittie pack
What a funny dog! I have never seen one who likes to walk that way 🙂
Ha Ha, that was just hilarious. He is really intent on staying there, isn’t he?
Woos, the OP Pack
Rusty,
Have you ever tripped your hu-dad over before with your trick? My bro Elmo is a lighter shed of your color and he jumps at the door just like you too!!! Must be a read team thing….
Ok, first I though maybe Rusty was part Kangaroo based on his jumping at the door. Then, when I saw the walking, I am starting to wonder if he is part Border Collie since he feels the need to HERD you! I definitely don’t think he’s a Sibe, cuz we PULL!! You might want to check for a zipper on that Sibe suit!!

Rusty, you are awesome! 🙂 I had to watch that video again!

Do you have some Corgi or other herding breed in you, Rusty? That is a “heeling” trick that several of us do a lot… especially Gimli to Grammy! That is so cute to watch Rusty at it… OC
LOL, that was really funny, poor Rusty…but he hung in there and kept going. That has to be awkward for the humans though…hehe
That creek does sound nice, really relaxing.
Rusty sure has a unique perspective from his walking place in the team! Looks like you got fresh snow. too!
Rusty, you are to funny…we luv u!!!!!!! still laughing:-)

Silly, Rooster … I thought the instinct was to PULL, not PUSH.
And we thank Rusty the Rooster too, for being so “special” and making us laugh. You hoped we’d enjoy this video? Loved it, still chuckling.
Twink!
Hi Rusty! Was your human trying to trick you? Hrumph! Maybe I could come over and help you do some herding. What do you think? We could double-Sibe him! 🙂
Love,
Ammy
Juno goosed me this morning during training! I think she saw this video before me!
And the black/white team is totally dignified. except for Snowflake. Love the way QNtE T’s off with Snowflake when she catches up to him. cute. like, what is she really gonna do to him while on leash?
And of course Roo Roo… OM Dawg… how rude to tease the Roo-master! Juno would like for you to send him here so she can show him how to goose the human while he’s back there!
and one question: do you think they can jump any higher? and do you have any holes in your ceilings?
wags-n-wiggles,
wild dingo
One good goose to the bum of your human might teach him not to mess with Rusty the Rooster. 🙂
Very funny…Mom loved it!
wags, wiggles & slobbers

A nice polka tune would have worked!
Ah yes: RUSTY!

PeeEssWoo: The thought bubbles above the other members of the red team were so telling even if they weren’t there – I saw ’em!
If you had six Golden Retrievers on a leash at once, we would be going in six different ways. You all walk good. They say you should “lead, follow or get out of the way”. It looks like each of you is following a different part of that saying. But why walk by a stream without getting into it?

Oh that was funny! Love it how Dad was messing with you!

The Human Shield is toying with you, Rusty!
Rusty is great and I would love to be in “Rusty the roosters world” What fun he has.
We are rolling on the floor laughing at you and Rusty the Rooster this morning. And yes, we agree with the herd, little worry about brainal damage there.
Cheers,
Jo and Stella
That was too funny. My Duchess was laughing out loud!
Kisses,

Wooos Rusty! That was interesting, but I would rather pull my humans than push, but whatever works for ya boy!

OK, now I’m convinced. R comes to your house secretly to get lessons from Rusty. R does exactly that same thing, but he reserves it for when he wants to rapidly get his human to go someplace in particular. He head butts the backs of my knees as he walks with continuous pressure on my legs from behind. I can’t ever see it (I need a videographer like you have…) but I bet that it looks almost the same. The one difference is that he yips at me as he does it. I guess that’s R’s special flourish added to this technique!
The similarities are too much!!!
Oh thank you! Nothing brightens my day like Rusty on a walk! I will be giggling about that all day!
Great jumps!
Rusty, you are my kind of pup! I love pups that think outside the box, do their own thing, break free of social norms. You forge your own path, even if it is behind your human’s legs.
