Walk, Sit & Stay home boarding for dogs

25/05/2026

The debate on the Internet rumbles on: no dogs off lead in a public place EVER unless recall 100% vs let dogs run free and meet other dogs.

I’m on the side of dogs meeting dogs… and then walking with them and their owners, rather than stopping to play with dogs met along the way.

This is how young dogs are socialised and learn to speak their own ‘language’ and the younger this happens, the better they read other dogs’ emotions,p and interact appropriately.

To those who say, ‘But my dog is reactive and will bite’ the answer is ‘Muzzle any dog that presents a threat to dogs or people’.

Want to stop your dog from pulling on the lead?

Do not ever let them pull you forward ever again - even if you're in a hurry!

When they pull, stop dead and wait until the tension is off the lead. You may have to walk backwards until this happens.

Once your dog realises that pulling does nothing for them, they will stop.

PS A really powerful puller may go better for you in a Halti/Gentle Leader headcollar-type.

Gundog fun: Two dogs both part gun-dog - cocker/labrador - with distinct interests. Rashy likes to retrieve from distance without stop, and Spud only really likes hoiking things out of tricky cover.

To help your dogs cope with tonight’s New Year bangs, try Radio One on as loud as you and your neighbours can bear, and make the dogs a bunker in a cupboard or small room.

Dogs love to walk in a pack, and this helps regulate behaviours and games. Best to introduce one new dog at a time, which sets the pace/level of excitement.

Dogs need exercise, and this should be off-lead on open land and in the company of other dogs where possible.

Obviously there will be some dogs that can only be walked on a lead because they are unable to get along with other dogs or people, or have an injury or other limiting disability, but the majority can play and run with each other. Like children in a playground, this will tire them out and mentally stimulate them.

Those dogs who are able to walk and play together off-lead will be happy dogs, unlikely to be destructive due to boredom, and much more of a joy to their owners.
