We have several girls in season here, and when this happens we like to take the males out away from the girls so they can relax, enjoy the countryside and just chill out. Today we took out Indie aged 8 (9 next birthday), Maverick aged 5 ( 6 in November), Django aged 15 months.
All boys had a wonderful play in the ford, with children one end, with total recall on all boys. Then we went off through the Norfolk countryside. They ran through water, through the fields, in the woodlands and boy did they need this. They needed it as much as I did. I love taking the boys out as Ive got instant recall, good nature with all dogs they meet. We met today a cocker spaniel, springer spaniel, 5 pugs, 1 disabled in a wheelchair, Labrador. Did not interfere with one dog. We was walking back and the dogs were ahead little. We call them back when we can not see around the corner. They were just in front of us when I heard a voice behind us "ARE YOUR DOGS FRIENDLY"! I said yes they are. I grabbed Django's collar as he is the only dog being young who may of gone up to sniff the guy. Poor guy was scared of dogs. Two weeks ago bitten by a GSP male and it really bit him and drew blood. I said don't worry they are used to strangers and all got excellent temperaments. The silvestre crew soon brought him around as he was so scared he was going to get bitten and they just ignored him. Our dogs are raised to IGNORE strangers. Its a skill that I believe is necessary because NOT everyone likes dogs and this was on of those days. The boys did him some good as they did not jump up him, the stood and we all had a conversation. We let him get ahead of us in the end. I think what he went through was relevant and we should have respect for other people. We put the dogs on the lead until he got right ahead because a dog rushing up to someone could really upset someone. We need to have basic manners with dogs. We put our dogs on leads when we meet people or other dogs. This stops lots of issues which could occur.
