I'm lucky to have a good chunk of land to train on but it can mean I get in the habit of staying there and not venturing out. So about 4 weeks ago I made a pact with myself to take out Peaches and test what we're learning out in the real world. I need to transfer those skills to give my girl more opportunities to enjoy the country walks and amazing beaches nearby. Today was one of those "training walks". Around the country lanes as the sun was coming up. She was excellent, ignoring the livestock and a dog we saw and incredibly good on the lead. 💪

This is just a place to have a chat about anything unrelated. I'll get us started... What's your favourite dog breed you don't own?

AM- beach retrieve practice PM- conditioning, reverse around cone practice and backwards heelwork 😊

Today has been totally rushed as we have tickets to see Edgar Allen Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher. Not something we normally do but it will be good! It's being hosted at a hall that's set in a huge graveyard so it's very fitting. I managed to get some circle tracking in with Lupe about midday as I haven't done any tracking for about a week so good to mix it up. I think the tracking was pretty good. He was distracted for the first few minutes as it was a noisy environment but when he began to focus the tracking was nice!
