Sunday 7 June 2026 · Letter 06The Walking room collects what we've learned about decompression walks, sniff time, recall, pace, the beach, and the long line. Each article is a short, practical read — the kind of thing you can apply on the next walk.
Five rules, one loose leash. The exact rhythm we use after a busy afternoon — for Charlie and for me.
Sniff TimeWhat sniffing does to a dog's nervous system — and why a 20-minute sniff walk exhausts more than an hour of fetch.
Off-leashThe single skill that earns Charlie the headland. Built slowly, never rushed, never assumed.
PaceThe walk most owners do. The walk most dogs need. They are not the same walk.
BeachWhat a beach walk asks of a dog you wouldn't ask of yourself — and how to do it without overstimulating either of you.
Long lineThe single piece of gear that changed our walks. Why it's worth the slight cost, and how to use it without it becoming a leash.
