Made a rod for my own back

[bracken]

My dogs always expect to go out in all weathers for there long work up the hills, if it is really hammering down like today I hate it and try hard not to go but they go on and on  until I normally give in 

Do your cocker's hassle you to go out in all weather ? Today must be the first day I have missed this year and boy do I know it

Annie cockers doesn't mind it..Cavvy Maisie looks disgusted if a small drop of rain graces her coat  Haven't taken them out today so playing lots of games

My two go out hell or high water and because of this they expect it 
I do feel guilty if we have a day when they don't go out but at the end of the day it happens that few and far between I don't worry about it. However, they pester me so much I usually wish I had forced myself to go in the first place and I really pay for it the next day

I don't mind going out in bad weather but Brodie does . You should see her face if she has to do as much as step through a puddle . Once she actually gets wet she tends to be fine.

Honey doesn't like the rain... we generally try and get her out whatever the weather, but occassionally she takes one look at the rain and runs back inside!

you lucky beggars  I so wish my two hated the rain sometimes. Especially after being soaked through to my knickers this afternoon   

[Jessie_Pup]

Dylan not keen on going out in the rain, he usually walks round puddles.   Jessie loves the rain, muddy puddles barks and runs round like a mad thing

[Ninasmum]

They always want to go out, no matter how horrible the weather is.   I don't think they have missed one day without going out this year, and tbh i feel they definetly do need to go out otherwise they seem to get quite norty and very boisterous indoors.    I just want to keep them happy  or perhaps i am just a big softy or mug 

The odd thing about this though is if it is raining they will not go out in the garden

[starboy]

Strangely enough my dogs will walk in any weather but hate going out side for a wee if there is a spot of rain. 

[sharonmansfield]

Go out in the wet stuff, never!!!!! not me I don't mind its them  Light drizzle is fine they will go then but heavy rain its like torture for Jasmine she has her head so low to the floor its like she will trip over it and she looks up at me with the sad eyes like its hell on earth. I feel guilty if I do take them  
We have a playtime at home instead. Tonight we have played fetch and had a fun time they are both tired and asleep now.
They wont go out for a toilet break in the rain either they hold it until they really really have to go then its a quick squat on the patio and into the kennel to shelter.
What I don't understand is they will splash in puddles and swim and thats not a problem so why does the rain bother them so much.

Cleo not keen to go out at all. Have to really coax her with treats. As for rain forget it.  She is better with me but wont go with oh at all Starting puppy classes this Sunday so hoping things will improve.

William doesn't like going out in heavy rain and just plods along looking miserable. Even going out in the garden for a pee is a major work up for him if it's wet outside. He's been known to hold on for up to 12 hours, then he pees for about a minute 

Mine have missed out on a couple of walks this week because I've had a bad cold and cough. William has been fine, but Louis is practically bouncing off the walls by the evening.

[Hurtwood Dogs]

My two hate the rain, although they will walk in it just not go out to the loo I don't mind walking in it at all but at the moment with a baby in a buggy or back pack logistically, it's SUCH hard work and sometimes I just can't find the energy for it all.. the dogs aren't bothered so who am I to force them? I think it's about balance though and on balance they have a great life, they're rarely alone and when we are out walks are all off lead in interesting places full of hunting... and they get training everyday, games most days wrestle each other etc etc....

[Rats and Dogs]

Mine harass me to go out, well Tia does anyway, and Duggie acts up, so I always end up taking them out no matter what the weather or how ill I'm feeling, on those days it's just the local park, but it's still a good walk with plenty of bushes, trees and ponds. Gari always harassed me too, he loved going out in any weather.

It takes me ages to get ready for a walk in the rain though, with all my waterproofs, etc, even longer when it's freezing, as the thermals have to be squeezed on too, I end up twice the size I normally am!

[supergirl]

Mine are very good, we tend to go at different times of the day so there is no set routine, which means they're never sure whether we're all going out or just me.  Have to admit I'm a fair weather walker so tend to wait until its stopped raining and weather improves.
