It has really paid off but it did take about 6-9 months to get to a really confident level with him.

I will never stop him chasing squirrels and deer though. I may as well be wearing my cloak of invisibility when there's a squirrel around
I'm seeing my hubby this weekend and will ask if he can think of anywhere Rufus would be safe

I've not forgotten to ask! The army messed up our plans to see each other! We're both at home in Colchester this weekend so I will ask him if he can think of anything. Just saw your post about the place near Ipswich, thanks for sharing

Its hard with Rufus caus he is a rescue and 3 yrs old so are having to undo his habbits and retrain him and the hound side of him follows his nose and goes deaf! But apparently thats normal for the breeds he is! :-S Its so much easier to prevent the problem rather than undo the problem but we are getting there slowly epecially now we are using value treats as trainers say lol like liver cake/chicken. He will do everything on the lead/ in house but as soon as he is off the lead off he goes! Let me now if your husband knows of any places Enjoy your time togetgher at the weekend

Google Freedom Fields, and enter your postcode in the box.
It should show all the enclosed fields available in your area, and their contact details.
There is usually a small charge - I pay £6 for half an hour, (2 dogs).
