Ready……..steady………..GOOOOO 🐾Tilly and Monty enjoying some off lead time last week 🐾
Most of our walks are out in the countryside in woods and across fields. Sometimes we have to do a bit of road walking to get to the footpaths and it is here that for safety dogs do need to walk sensibly especially on the lanes without footpaths. Olive here functions at 100mph from the second she steps out the door. We’ve been working so so hard on walking sensibly along the lanes and last week she made me so proud totally smashing her loose lead walking. By keeping her on my right in a relaxed heel position I can quickly get her onto the grass verge and out the way of traffic if anything is coming without tripping over her swerving left and right in front of me 🐾
Sometimes it’s quite handy being little 😍 Langley makes light work of this bridge 🐾
‘Work smarter, not harder’ isn’t that the saying? It seems like Olive didn’t get the memo 😂
Who doesn’t love a slow-mo 😍 even better when it’s an over enthusiastic recaller 😂 🐾❤️🐾
“There's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.” Having good equipment makes all the difference on wet days. I may be wringing out these gloves but my hands inside are completely dry. Love my Sealskinz gloves 🐾
Like chalk and cheese but live together harmoniously 😍 perfect drop ins - cuddles and play all at once 🐾
Enrichment and mental stimulation isn’t a one size fits all. As with humans dogs have different personalities and enjoy different things. If you took me sky diving I would definitely not find that enriching nor enjoyable whereas my brother would absolutely love it. Langley here got to grips with this puzzle in about 10 minutes and enjoyed working it out. Freddie on the other hand finds this puzzle frustrating and does not enjoy engaging with it so we don’t play with it anymore. There are plenty of other activities we can do with him instead that he does love - trick training for example 🐾
Olive would like to apologise to all her fellow Cocker Spaniels and wider Spaniel family for letting them down the other day. She promises that she will never partake in this ‘walking’ malarkey ever again 🐾

Never before seen footage of a Cocker Spaniel off lead walking……yes actually participating in the 4-beat gait of walk. Now obviously this sent alarm bells ringing so I stopped the footage, bent down to ask Olive if she was ok. She jumped up, licked my nose and ran off. And that was the end of that!!! 🐾
