We try to go for a walk with Archie at least once a month, but unfortunately due to my having moved house, then the girls being in season and taking Peggy to shows etc we haven't been able to get out for a walk with him and so I have only seen him in order to groom him.
Today however, we finally managed to catch up and so we went to Dartmoor for a wander.
Archie is now at a defiant teenage stage; with his testosterone firmly kicking in, so we did a small amount of training during the walk.
It is not unusual for dogs to revert to puppy-like behaviours briefly when they are experiencing hormonal changes. This does not last forever and is easily adapted to by returning to basics and using positive reinforcement techniques (which I will write a piece about at a later date
Overall the dogs had a great walk and it was lovely to see them all having so much fun.
