FitheachOn today's #DogWalk I photographed hairy things.
alysonsee (Fca)@fitheach What does Neachdainn make of the cattle? Chase-worthy or no?
@alysonsee
Definitely chase-worthy. The fact he hardly reaches their ankles doesn't make a difference. Strangely, the cattle are happy to oblige Neachdainn, by running off. If the cattle stood still, I suspect, Neachdainn wouldn't know what to do.
Consequently, I have to keep Neachdainn on an imaginary leash. A quick "oi!" if I sense he wants to give them a chase, and that brings him back to my side
@fitheach That's a well-trained dog. Nice work.
@alysonsee
I don't bother him with any instructions during a walk, except for interventions to protect him and others. Whenever I do, and he reacts in the right way, he gets a reward. Seems to work.
