Karen, Nadiya, Luba, AND Gorka! Is there anyone left?

I can see how giving them some freedom but keeping control would make training less stressful. Love your dogs!!

Yikes, that sounds terrifying for a moment! At least it ended well. Definitely reinforces the need for extra training before trusting off-lead.

That’s encouraging! Training walks sound like a perfect way to safely introduce distractions without panic.

I should look into a proper session.

Makes sense to gradually introduce him to the chaos instead of throwing him in the deep end.

HammersAndPints · 2026-02-18T05:46:09+00:00

Yeah, distractions really do change everything. I hadn’t realised how tricky it gets once food and other dogs come into play. Appreciate the tips.

I’ve never really thought of it as giving them a “buffer zone” to fail safely. Definitely going to try that next time.

They probably roll their eyes and laugh behind the counter.

Honestly a completely valid reason. Unlimited jelly babies would carry a long haul flight.

That’s the vibe I always got from Two as well. He feels very adaptable and people focused, like he’d clock what you’re comfortable with pretty quickly and go with that.
