Lovely walk in the woods with Cassie this morning. The spring scents are intoxicating for her at present, and there's been a bit too much free hunting going on for my liking, so I have been working on training exercises lately, instead of doing such and such a walk. More mental activity, less distance covered etc.

I think that at the moment there is much hare activity going on up there, she seems to find their presence irresistible. So today we did some hunt in a small area stuff, and then I got her to do off lead heel along the ride where she often departs into the undergrowth. This is probably a good 120 yds long,(maybe more) it was mega hard for her, I could see her nose going the whole time -- is sausage really enough at the end or do I go hunting? BUT she did it, with minimal re-cues

This is a massive deal for her, to do that though what for her is the biggest distraction out there.

Very happy with my beautiful girl

Reuben hasnt done anything really worthy of a brag , except that for a 19 month old lad who usually has long walks through woods and by rivers , he has been a star , just accepting that its not happening and seems happy with his lot , thats all xx

I'm not sure how Cassie would have coped at that age, she was a full on wildchild then

I've been so pleased with how Monty is coping with being close to other dogs but not playing with them (a couple of exceptions. of course)

In so many situations we are able to keep him close, both on and off the lead, and luring with a gravy bone, plus another one for reward. I know this is close a a bribe, as I've no plans to fade the lure yet, but am so pleased we can get and hold his attention in (relatively) close proximity.

Iver is a good boy. He had to have some eye gell put in his eyes today because of an infection. He sat as asked and let me put it in. I bribed him with a banana. He then had some TT hair slides up his neck to relax him and he's gone for a nap.such a good boy.

Hope Iver's eye clears up quickly.

 

[SwampDonkey]

It will do he's just got a touch of conjunctivitis he'll be fine. Caught it quick. Had to take photos to send to the vet then discuss the symptoms then Chris picked his prescription

 

[Selina27]

Iver is a good boy.

He has the best of Mummy's

 

[SwampDonkey]

Well sort of weregrizzly bear. Where do you think he gets all the grrrr from?

 

[Stacia]

@Selina, you have done really well with Cassie, you should be very pleased, hares are completely irresistible to most dogs!

@Natalie, brilliant keeping Monty close in the presence of other dogs, off lead

@SwampDonkey what a good pup IVER is (have to do capitals as my computer keeps changing it to Ever) having the gel in is eyes.

I have to share this. I'm so proud of my boy. Dog dog reactive, so walks are a challenge at the moment. Yesterday on what used to be empty farm fields we encountered, hares 3 of them and 2 separate walkers.
The hares he sees, but I say his name and Cupar immediately returns to me without chasing.
The first walker I didn't know whether he had a dog, so Cupar was put on a lead, the guy didn't have a dog but as I'm social distancing by miles we walked down the side of the field, when I released Cupar, he took off after the guy but as soon as I called his name , he ran straight back to me.
The second walker, I could see had no dog, as Cupar was being reinforced for his sit stay, I decided to stay where we were and let the lady go past, my amazing boy sat, looked around at the lady and looked back at me.
Last but not least, on our daily exercise, we pass a garden that has a wee fluffy dog that runs and barks at everything, my boy has not once retaliated this week, he goes to the fence and looks at me to get his cheese.
This is him practicing his sit and stay.

 

[kateincornwall]

What a very good boy you are Cupar x

 

[Selina27]

Very well done Cupar , what an amazing boy you are

 

[Selina27]

This is the ride we managed to do off lead heel in, I think it's way longer than 150 metres, she was a good girl. She really wanted to go hunting on the lefthand side

@Cupcase, what a super photo of Cupar, his lovely smile really cheered me up. What a very good boy he has been, you must be so pleased.
