Last Saturday we decided to go to London with
our dog Zuko for a nice day out at a dog event that was happening in
Primrose Hill to raise awareness against puppy farming. However, things
didn’t turn out as planned because poor Zuko caught scent of something
in that environment that gave him a spook, and it wouldn’t have been
fair to keep him there. So, we donated some money to the
cause, and decided to head back on the Tubes to Hyde Park instead.
Zuko is such a well behaved dog on the tube trains, he just lies by our feet the whole time, and sometimes says a cheeky hello to one or two fellow passengers.
Our day in Hyde park ended up being a brilliant day out. We were apprehensive because of Zuko’s behaviour at Primrose Hill, but, whatever it was wasn’t bothering him now, and he was back to his cheeky terrier self showing the London squirrels who’s boss in this park!
It’s days like this where I feel so proud of how far we’ve come with this little dog, his re-call was absolutely perfect so he got to enjoy lots of off lead time in hyde park.
After our journey around the park we decided to walk the streets of London for a bit and use it as a chance to practice Zuko’s on lead manners (after all you should always take any opportunity to brush up on the dog’s training!). He did very well, even in the crowded places, and we ended up walking up to the Buckingham Palace without even realising we were heading that way. Zuko had a quick nose through the gates of the palace, but unfortunately the Queen didn’t come out to say hello.
Overall, it was a really nice day out, and I recommend all dog owners to every so often get out of the routine and take the dog out with you on one of your day trips, they really do enjoy getting to see the fun new places, and it’s a good chance to practice what they already know in a new environment.
