Kevin Stage?
« on: October 12, 2004, 10:34:29 AM »
Could Blue be going through a Kevin stage again at 19 months?????

Blue's recall is usually quite good but just lately he is just ignoring me :blink:  he went through the same when he was about 12 months old but never went out of sight but the other day Blue just went off and left me and I had to chase him down the path!!!!!!!! I'm presuming that as he is entire, he has possibly caught the scent of a bitch :rolleyes:  any ideas of what I could do to prevent him wandering off??

You mean the Kevin stage is supposed to stop?  I must go and tell Chloe who obviously hasn't read the spaniel manual :D  :D  :P

Hi Maria

This is quite interesting - Morgan turned into a right disobedient little sod a few months after Cooper came home.  I don't know if he was just asserting himself or if he thought I'd be too busy with Cooper to notice  :rolleyes:  :D  Sometimes I think they plan it one distracts you while the other misbehaves.

He wouldn't come back when we were out and I had to retrieve him from the river/sea/loch a number of times.  I kept him on lead for a few weeks but have recently started letting him off again (mainly to preserve my back from the voilent tugs  :rolleyes: ) and he's been great  B) Think he just needed reminding who was boss.

In saying that, he did go AWOL for a few minutes today - we'd passed a woman out with 7 dogs, I stopped to release Cooper from some brambles he'd got caught in and while I was doing this Morgan had doubled back to go for a walk with the woman.  When I found him she explained that one of the dogs was mother to three pups she had with her and this bitch was in season again - all dogs were off lead :rolleyes:  Needless to say, poor Morgan had to go back on the lead for the remainder of the walk!!  ;)

I'm sure he's just trying it on and will be back to his normal self in no time :-)))

P.S.  Any recent pics of Bailey, so that I can wave them in front of Eric and convince him that we can't live without a B&T!!!  :D

Hi, having just read this post, whilst reading replies to my own (squirrels!), i am now understanding that maybe it isn't squirrels as much but  the dreaded teenager!!  Jess is now 8months so I guess that makes her one and I think I will also put her back on the lead for a bit and see how that goes.   <_<
