  1. Sold to Gary pending pick up and payment. Thanks
  2. Hi, Selling our Scooter, used it a few times, in good condition, comes with bungee connection at the front. We are in Norfolk, looking for 70GBP Thanks, collection only.
  3. I have done a lot of work on recall with Marley on lead, the next sensible step IMO is too try him in an enclosed field, he would have to be tried off lead at some point and that was the safer option. I will continue to work with him but I am convinced even with the best trainer in the world, Marley will only come back if he chooses to. Although the breed have similar traits, huskies have different personalities and I know my dog! Granted, his recall will improve with practise (and it has improved) but I could never rely on it 100%. I have no need to worry about gates being left open etc. It is a private field that only we are allowed to use. I have walked all round the perimeter and blocked all possible exits so I am sure it is safe. I agree with James. Marley and Buddy get time to chase and run and play. As I said, Marley is on a 100ft lead! Buddy isn't because he has good recall. I have accepted that I will never be allowed to let Marley or Buddy off lead. We knew that was a possibility before we got a husky.
  4. I voted no for Marley as we tried him in an enclosed field and he still only came back when he chose too! As soon as he knew it was time to go he played the "I will get as close to you as I can but just out of reach and then when you make a move I will sprint off" game. Great fun for him! He now stays on the 100ft lead in there! Buddy's recall however in the field is good, he will come back if I shake the treat pot and sometimes won't leave my side if he wants more! I wouldn't trust either of them off lead in the fields where we walk. We have tried it and it has not been a pleasurable experience. Their prey drives are high, especially Marley, he is constantly on the hunt when we walk for anything from a fly to a deer!! Marley has no road sense at all and it worried me that one day we might lose him. I do miss watching the enjoyment on his face though(tongue out to the side and ears back) as he used to sprint past me but I will sacrifice that for their safety.
