• Our behaviourist is also an advocate of having days at home playing games which build engagement etc maybe once a week.

    The problem is that a) our male dog won’t shit in the garden and b) I walk them as much for myself as I do for them.

  • The old school gun-dog rules aren't dissimilar. Ideally you only want to put the lead on when they listen to you and stick to your side. Its impracticable for most people, and as the percentage sign says- if we're all totally honest, a walk is a great excuse to get out of the house.

  • “Encouraging people to drop their 30 minute walk”… I might be doing it wrong, but mine go out twice a day and one of those is for an hour.

    And we do our “training games” while we’re out. Doesn’t stop us from doing it at home too.
