An afternoon in the field (FB page please Mr. Steve)

Some piccies we took yesterday of Tinkerbell running in the field. Some are quite blurry because she refused to stand still because it was distubing her fun!




















This field is right in front of our house, we live on the street that you can see at the top left of the picture. First time we have taken her in there, but looking forward to the summer so we cna let her off and practice some recall etc. And as you can guess this is a picture taken by my daughter of me and Tiknkerbell!

And my favourite picture of all....





This is how she spent the whole evening last night, when I called her to me. Her back legs were twitching as if to say I want to come to you but I am just too tired

And a couple of pics that we took before I dropped my phone the other day. Tinkerbell admiring the fountain in town!

Great pictures. It's not easy to get pics of them when they are running around mad in the park
I love the pic of her an your daughter at the fountain

Aww fab piks!! looks like she had a blast

Ahh she's gorgeous, lovely pics. I think you will have some fun there in the summer playing in the field.

Lovely pics love the last one tinkerbell has grown so much

Great pics, the last one is a cracker...

Great looking pics. Love the ones of Tinkerbell and your daughter

Great pics. Tinks looks like she really enjoyed her playtime.

Fab pics

Great pics! I like the darkish tan Tinks has on her back

Noticed you have the halti collar on her, I have the same for Jack.

Ah I know where you live know, I recognize the area : ) Awesome pics though !

Great pics and I understand exactly where you are coming from with trying to take a photo when they are playing.
I love the pic of her in her crate too tired to move (mine are like that tonight) & the ones of your daughter and Tink at the fountain - gorgeous

i will do it when i come back tonight off to the pub soon

Thanks guys! She had an absolute fab time. Hasn't had an evening walk today as we got back late from being down my parents house for the day. But she is still in her crate snoring from her walk this morning and her antics yesterday.

Dann, the halti is fab, and the only way she will walk nicely to heel. Although we do have some looks when she wears it and have had comments made about it being a muzzle

Maria, thought you might recognise the area if you saw pics of it!

Thanks Steve, have a great time

I'm up my sisters at the moment so I'm just up the road from you lol might have to introduce myself and Monty to you and Tinks one day when I bring him up here!

Sounds good, I bet they would love to meet up for a wee play. Lol not far away from us at all then. Quite strange to meet someone on here that lives so close to us. If your up for it, I'd love to meet up and take the dogs for a walk sometime Maybe in the summer though for walking when Monty is a bit bigger and can go further!

That would be great, would love him to have a wee pal !

Great me too. We don't really know anyone with another dog to play with. Mam and dad have a collie but she would play too rough with him for their liking, and my friend has a wee jack russell but they have never met! She does go for walks with a rottie called Cilla in the summer though

Aww ha ha Monty walks so well when there is more than just 1 person walking him, unfortunately that's only when the kids come down, they nag me to take him for a walk!

Ha ha bless him. Tink is the opposite she walks much better when it is just me walking her! When the kids are there she wants to run with them and when the oh is there and he walks her she pulls like a train. Can always tell when he has walked her because the next couple of walks I am back at square one with her training. He lets her get away with murder

Lol better get the oh on a lead next then and teach him the basics

He just doesn't care. Think because he has no trouble holding her back and never has the kids with him he doesn't see the need to make sure she walks nice. I on the other hand normally have two little one's with me and sometimes the buggy so she needs to walk by my side!

That's the next thing I need to start teaching with Monty... Walking by my side! Any tips?

Ummm not really sure......a halti maybe! This is the only way she will walk by my side. We did the whole stop turn around when she pulled. We did have some strange looks but we got there, she soon learnt that pulling meant we had to do a circle. Haven't cracked it on a collar or harness yet though. But I also found that when I praised her for walking to heel she would think I had given her the go ahead to walk ahead of me. So I did have to ignore the good and reprimand the bad behaviour. Treats sometimes work if you get occassionally offer treats whilst he walks by your side. Or a stop start approach, stop when he pulls then walk on and try again, when he next goes ahead stop again. Different ways you can do it so you will have to try and see what works best for Monty. I found it a hard one to crack as like I said she still pulls now, it's one that needs continual work on, and we need to try with the collar and harness too!

Thanks Karen, will give some of them a try !
