I let Lucy Belle out into the hallway of our apartment building one day just so she could explore outside her home. It's a long hallway and she's never really step outside the apartment before. Most of the time, when I open the door, she'll just put her head out and look right and left. A couple of times, I saw her talking herself into stepping out a little farther but always turn back at the slightest sound from the elevator.
So, I encouraged her to go out and stood by the open door while she sniff her way out. She took a few steps, look up at me and I told her that there is nothing to be afraid of. She then cautiously proceeded to go a little bit more down the hallway.
But with each step she took, she'll turn around to see if I am still there, standing by the door. She did this until she reach the end of the hallway and turn back. When she saw me, she ran as fast as she could, realizing then how far she had gone!
I kissed her and told her what a brave girl she is! Gave her a treat and now, she get plenty of exercise running up and down that long hallway!
