Winter walk by the Sea

Mads and Danish Swedish Farmdog Scott

 Today we went for a walk down by the sea. It was really a beautiful winter day. We trained "heel", "come here" and to come when we whistled. Scott did a very good job! We only had a leash on him when walking to and from the sea shore and when we met a dog, an English Setter female that really wanted to play. But she seemed a bit too energetic so we didn't let them. Despite being 4 years old she totally ignored her owners when they called her, and if we would have let them play I doubt we would have been able to get them to stop and to get them to come back to us. Scott seemed quite content just to meet her and then move on, he probably felt she was a bit too stressed too.
All in all this has been a really good day, in spite of the fact that last night we found out that we will not get to buy the Danish Swedish Farmdog puppy we hoped for, it was already promised to someone else. But who can be unhappy and disappointed when Scott is around? Not me, that's for sure!
