My 5-month-old puppy was with the dog walker this morning. She's only been twice before, as I only work two mornings per week and normally my mum can have her.
They were on a field when another dog ran up and started fighting with one of the dog walker's dogs (I think she had 3 or 4 with her). My dog got scared and ran away. I came back from work and we were all looking for her, but she had walked herself home (about 1 mile), crossing a main road on the way. We have only walked back from there about 3 times, so I'm quite impressed she remembered the way.
Anyway, now I'm worried about leaving her with a dog-walker again. (My mum doesn't let her off the lead). With me, her recall is normally fine, and it had been with the dog walker this morning. Would it be better to try a different walker? I suppose this could have happened to anyone. I only need planned to have her go once a month or so, building up to when we go away for a weekend in June.
