I generally take both Mako the Airedale and Punch the PBGV for several walks a day. We visit several different parks that give the dogs (and me) a variety of environments and terrains to experience. Recently, we visited a park that we hadn't seen in a while and it was quite fascinating to see the reactions of both dogs. Mako practically grew up at the park and was so happy just to be there. He had that big Airedale grin on his face as he strolled around his beloved park.
Punch, on the other hand, was on a mission. My little scent hound was tracking her way into a wooded area. I let them walk into the forest for a brief time but turned them around because I was concerned about what I couldn't see - ticks! When we emerged from the woods, Punch had her head up and zeroed in on something. Then I saw what had her attention... just over the hill, in the distance, was our car! I let her lead the way and that was what she was interested in - finding her way back to the car and her crate. They they both got a drink of water. Maybe that's what she wanted in the first place? She was thirsty!
Mako made sure that we stopped at every tree on the way back.
