Little Ted had his first lead walk in the Outside World this morning. He was really good, not too bold but not too scared either. I thought he’d be a lead biter but, no - he was so interested in everything he didn’t even notice the lead.

People who say ‘practice in the house’ are wrong.  In the house the lead is the interesting thing and bad habits can easily be learned which are hard to unlearn.  My tip for the day - have your first lead walks somewhere unfamiliar to the pup.

We’ll have another after lunch, weather permitting, and I’ll take photos.
