BE’yond the basics is about helping our dogs feel safe and ensure their time with us is more enjoyable.
Adventures with our dogs sometimes require a little more than what we taught our little puppies and require us to build on those all-important FUN’damental skills.
For me get outside with my dog is my ultimate goal, it’s been limited whilst Diggory has been learning about his world, you can read more about Real Life Skills ready for adventures HERE.
One thing that I love about being out on adventures, is the feeling of freedom, paths that take you to a spectular view or paths that skirt a beautiful coastline or winding paths through woodlands and the smell of pine that just makes you take a deep breathe.
If like us, you also love all the trails available as part of the National Trust properties. Here is where you may find yourself strolling through fields full of the roaming sheep or deer which are spectacular to see…. however the reality can feel far from a feeling of calm and tranquility!
If you have a dog that “see’s” the world differently, freedom of open space can be overwhelming causing our dogs to feel a little fizzy! Views normally mean a great vantage point for birds to predate! and coastline can mean anything to seagulls swooping past to rabbits darting infront of you and as for that woodland walk! well there’s sooooo many critters that can interest our pups, but shhhhh say it quietly Squirrels are many dogs nemisis! You can read more about why your dog does that HERE . Then at the National Trust sites we will most defiently come across sheep and deer which is a game on for exciting a dog, you can learn more dealing with sheep.
