Carrie, thanks for all the help! I think not walking them could help EXCEPT I'm on holiday in 2 weeks time and then we're moving house!

Do you think I should still walk them in the evening and do obedience in the yard in the morning? I'm living on a 5 acre property (my yard is a small fenced off part of that), should I walk them in the 5 acres maybe?

Brendon and I have been working Romulus and Digby on heelwork at the end of our walks (we have an open park next door so they're usually off lead for all but the beginning and end of the walk) and they are definitely listening more.

I think they accept us as Alpha (obey us, won't try and outstare, etc) but it would definitely help to establish Digby as dominant. Well, we're moving onto a fenced off 2 and a half acre property which should be great for them!
