one at a time......Jimmy

With the aim of having better-behaved and more contented dogs, I've started taking each one for his own separate walk every couple of days.

Apart from getting some training on the lead and having a purposeful walk - instead of always just driving to the park and roaming free - they each have some one-on-one time with me, which we're all enjoying.

The exercise is good for me too, but I'm usually ready for a lie-down after walking for a total of about 90 minutes!



Jimmy gets to walk off leash most of the way, due to his age and the fact that he's so well behaved.



His walks consist of lots of sniffing................bushes...........


......poles........trees, fences......anything and everything really.



........and I have to watch him as he sometimes gets a whiff of something interesting in someone's yard, and I have to be quick enough to stop him before he gets in there, otherwise he could be in there for ages.



The single walks are great for Jimmy because he gets to go at his own pace for a change, and not having to keep up with his 2 younger brothers......
