Anybody else’s hounds watch the tv? I’ve had several dogs before, none of which have taken a blind bit of notice of the tv, this one however... 
article on squirrels on the local news yesterday, gripping viewing for someone 
Not only does he watch TV, he sits on the sofa like a human watching, often sitting between us. If anything with 4 legs turns up he'll get up and go up close to the TV... and when it's back to 2 legs he resumes his 'seat' on the sofa. article on squirrels on the local news yesterday, gripping viewing for someone This is our 6th dog, and like you none before have taken a blind bit of notice of the box.

I've thought about that. Ive never wanted to restrict a dog to just an hours walk around the block. That's why I didn't have a dog until I knew I could give him the freedom to do what he wants most of the time we're out. Over the last 8 months or so especially I've realised that an hour walking on the lead twice a day is a waste of time, its not even scratching the surface of what he needs.
He gets more exercise and more variety than any dog I've known. It sounds a bit crap when written down but just fetching, finding, following scents, chasing squirrels, flushing out birds, and just galloping along his favourite footpaths and farm tracks. Maybe I'm not doing the right type of activities though. What sort of things did you have in mind? Are there specific things that will give him.more of a mental work-out?
I’ve always found that my Springers get a lot out of a well stuffed Kong. It gets their minds working as they have to work at getting the food out. Also as above dropping or hiding kibble around the house or garden, or wrapping it up in a huge towel is a good one. He gets more exercise and more variety than any dog I've known.

Kongs are brilliant, we feed Oscar from them most of the time as I think it more accurately simulates their natural feeding - i.e. having to work for food and getting a reward rather than having it plonked in a bowl. In fact now, if we just put food in a bowl he'll rarely finish it, but in a Kong it's gone in a minute or 2. Ruffle snuffle blankets are also good for hiding treats in.

We got one of these to feed our frenchie with, stops him swallowing his food in pretty much one go! He seems to like playing with it and picked up how to get the treats out pretty quick, keeps him busy for a while anyway. Was about £10 on amazon
