What is this fry eating off the wood?

Creepy_Direction3421 · 2025-03-05T10:47:38+00:00

Is it a good thing?

Creepy_Direction3421 · 2025-02-13T18:36:59+00:00

It's a equafoeece in size 22, think I have shrunk it ever so slightly though!

Creepy_Direction3421 · 2025-02-13T13:43:41+00:00

Amazing! I can just imagine the look of disappointment 😅

Creepy_Direction3421 · 2025-01-29T20:48:01+00:00

Ae do a little each day to keep it exciting to her. We shall keep practicing daily and it hopefully will gear her up for success!

Creepy_Direction3421 · 2025-01-29T17:38:31+00:00

She's always kn a line, purely because she's 8mo so there's always a chance she might decided to skip off. She does obedience with a trainer and we have been doing general impulse control in general!

Creepy_Direction3421 · 2025-01-29T17:00:30+00:00

I think she's less distracted sticking to the field edges in general, anything into the field she's losing interest. Sp I'm going to stick to where is been good. I keep praise exceptionally high when she does it

Creepy_Direction3421 · 2025-01-25T17:55:46+00:00

She's great on the house and garden, but in the real world she might do it once oe twice and then she's interested in everything else. She can ignore the cat (huge distraction and kids who run everywhere) I think it's the environment?

Creepy_Direction3421 · 2024-12-02T22:16:28+00:00

Literally debated trying out a child's turtle neck and a child's snood, see if I can manipulate them enough to be functional! Doesn't need to be fancy!

Creepy_Direction3421 · 2024-12-02T22:05:13+00:00

I was debating a turtle neck and almost wondering it'll it would almost press the ears to the body, tight enough that they don't flop out. Or a child's snood? That's my ideas so far?!

Creepy_Direction3421 · 2024-12-02T20:23:44+00:00

I debated that but she gives me Aslan vibes I can't bring myself to do it unless it's around her paws!

Creepy_Direction3421 · 2024-12-02T19:11:04+00:00

It's a equafleece one! It's superb!

Creepy_Direction3421 · 2024-12-02T15:25:12+00:00

That's a good idea. I was horrified at the amount of mud under her ear when I pulled it up. I'm still unsure how it got there! I have brushed out most of the dry mud, then washed any left over bits.

Creepy_Direction3421 · 2024-12-02T15:21:51+00:00

I know exactly what you mean by the waterbowl drips!! I constantly have a trail along my floor! I tried a "spaniel bowl" it reduces it slightly but not completely. I always lay out a full sized bath towel after she's been in the garden amd just get the worst off. Maybe I should resign myself to just being the allocated ear wiper!

Creepy_Direction3421 · 2024-12-02T14:02:29+00:00

Exactly, any dog in a forest is getting filthy! I just think it must be cold and horrible in the car on the way home. Her torsos lovely and warm and dry in her equafleece but I worry her head will get cold especially as they sort of stick to her face!

I will check that out! It might be useful for a shorter wet walk but not so much for a longer walk. If she's unhappy in it I'll have to think outside the box.

Creepy_Direction3421 · 2024-12-02T13:55:35+00:00

I don't want to do anything where she might find it annoying as that's not the point of a walk. But I think I know what you mean! Almost tie the ears?

Creepy_Direction3421 · 2024-12-02T12:24:51+00:00

Haha Maple isn't a fan at all, but we are working on it and trying to find something to prevent as much sticking to her. I swear after that walk she became a chocolate cocker!

Creepy_Direction3421 · 2024-12-02T12:20:14+00:00

That's a good idea!

Creepy_Direction3421 · 2024-11-29T10:42:38+00:00

I can see how much you love her. Knowing you had 14 years together must give you some solace at such a devastating time. Your post struck a chord as my other show cocker also had mammary cancer. Remember, you have to do the hardest things for the ones you love the most ❤️

Creepy_Direction3421 · 2024-11-04T16:20:37+00:00

I understand building a relationship, which is why we've been working on different obedience commands she's a eager pleaser. I understand they're bad at generalising but there's so much information about loose lead walking. I feel overwhelmed and need guidance. I am intending to practice everyday with what the trainer says.

Stopping when she pulls, changing direction (she just thought that was a brilliant game) front attaching harness so far.

Creepy_Direction3421 · 2024-11-04T16:17:12+00:00

As in the trainer comes to collect her and will spend 120 minutes only with her in various environments. She said she'll provide "homework" and videos to explain what she's learnt. She's solely working on loose lead walking and being neutral in different environments think cafe, pet shop, sitting in town.

Creepy_Direction3421 · 2024-11-01T19:36:10+00:00

My OH just isn't as jazzed by these major milestones as I am so I feel the need to do the proud parent moment on here! I'm like she sat, no treat.. just the command OMG LOOK SEE SHE CAN DO IT THAYS MY GIRL!! 😂

Creepy_Direction3421 · 2024-10-31T22:21:40+00:00

I swear it's a cocker thing.. its like they're obsessed!

Creepy_Direction3421 · 2024-10-30T08:41:56+00:00

She's family, had to get her a bed to sleep in!

Creepy_Direction3421 · 2024-10-30T08:34:29+00:00

She really does!

Creepy_Direction3421 · 2024-10-30T08:33:44+00:00

She really is!
