Well this has never happened before..

We got a full on formal cow parade.

10 mins of them slowly walking with us, until they ran out of field.

(Was it the dog, the bell, or just Hey this is interesting! Wait, I'm just following you guys?!)

@herissonrose Okay, cows are very curious, and when the herd instinct kicks in, there’s a parade

@herissonrose I love how well your dog handled this. ️

@herissonrose

They were expecting treats.

Treats for the entire herd.

You failed them.

But yes, your dog's response was excellent.

MOO-TORCADE!

How did I not think of that earlier.

(Brain is finally online, up and punning)

This is beef and timber country, we see a lot of them!

Lusha *loves* cows and horses. But she's also quite jumpy and anxious (being a wolfdog).

I picked her breeder partly because she ran a working farm, and socialised her pups early on w livestock. We've done a lot of training as well.

My great panicky Scooby Doo may jump out of her skin at car horns, gunfire and bags flapping in the wind, but large animals and noisy tractors? Fine
