Swimming & Walking

Brian and Chaos have been to hydro this morning. Brian is doing so much better now it's not so cold out, hardly any stiffness in his legs this week and it showed in his swimming. So glad he is looking better. Chas has been with us loads of times and had his first few swims back in October. He has then had a break but today was his second session back. He is a very good boy, still gets a bit silly about having to have a harness on and lies down on the floor but then he gets in no bother and just happily swims.

The plan today was to do some agility when I got back but typically it rained :( Instead I took Kody, Heidi and Brenda for a walk along the river for an hour. They had a good run and got rid of their crazy energy.

When I got back Chaos was all recovered after swimming and wanting to do something so I took him out on his own for a shorter walk along the river. Today was the first time it seemed like he really enjoyed a walk on his own. He is regularly walked with the others in our field or on his own outside but he generally just walks along when alone, today he was off sniffing and exploring which was great to see. We did lots of recalls when he was let off his lead -rewarded with yummy sausage and he walked lovely on a loose lead on the way there and back (first time, he normally pulls like a train!) and we even did a few short stays, all perfect and the first time he has done any away from home. So although we missed out on agility today we have still had a good day and achieved a lot of good training.
