The amazing levitating dachshund

Took Merlin for his longest walk yet, we did around 4 miles. 

He was really good. 

He still barks and has anxiety but it's no longer constant barking and I am learning to not stress over him barking. 

He can now go off lead as long as we can't see anyone else, which is why I like the tow path I can see ahead and get him tethered in plenty of time if I need to. But he is happy to run free with a whole pack of dachshunds :)

If we aren't sure of an area we use a 5m long line which gives him freedom to roam and sniff and explore while being kept safe.
