ArbDogs? Pics!

Experiments on the lead this morning. Works for about half an hour before Mecho gets fed up of Sailor dragging him here, there and everywhere. Kept Sailor off the hares for nearly the full walk.

Remind me which dog is older/senior/superior? Any or all of the above? 

 

Great fun watching one put manners on the other with a double-ended lead. It's like a cheat code for training, as long as the mentor themself is well-behaved...

Fluffy one is ten and less well trained. Scrawny one is three, also untrained. I'd say who was in charge but it occurs to me that I don't know anything about dogs. It's an act of pragmatism over discipline. Scrawny Sailor stands a pretty good chance of coming back under neutral conditions, where fluffy Mecho wouldn't. If they trip over a deer/hare, Sailor will chase but Mecho is a deadweight anchor and the lead would probably catch them on trees. You get 30-40 minutes before Mecho has had enough of being pulled around. It's not perfect.
