Day 18 – Dog Trainer and her Dogs in Valencia
We returned to Valencia yesterday and I met up with a friend from the UK today. There are no English Shepherds currently residing in Spain to my knowledge. My friend has one and my girls are both English Shepherds. We met up for a walk, and then had to take a photo of the three…

Day 16 – Dog Trainer and her Dogs in Valencia
Today we went up the mountain, we were heading for Laguna Negra. A friend from the area was showing us where to go, and had met us in his own car. Halfway up the snow was thick enough to make it impassable for his vehicle, so he parked his car up and jumped into the…

Day 15 – Dog Trainer and her Dogs in Valencia
Today we travelled to a small town called Soria, we only have 2 nights here and so want to pack in as much as possible. Our first walk was a beautiful walk in a valley where there was a sweet monastery. The monks when they resided at the monastery kept bees high up on a…

Day 14 – Dog Trainer and her Dogs in Valencia
Izzy was much better today, but we are headed to the mountains for a couple of days from tomorrow. So I wanted to take them for a walk, but not a long one. The walk I chose was about 2K in length, a bit of uphill and also did some training and recording footage upon…

Day 12 & 13 – Dog Trainer and her Dogs in Valencia
Izzy was unwell today, she accompanied me to the bathroom when I got up. To her surprise as she turned around she had a poonami right there in the bathroom. I took her back and popped her onto her bed where she couldn’t control another one. I took her outside and she finished off but…

Day 11 – Dog Trainer and her Dogs in Valencia

Madrid was pretty cold, and we spent most of our trip in a little bar. We had some lovely tapas, and chatted with friends. The dogs were absolutely amazing – really relaxed and…

Day 10 – Dog Trainer and her Dogs in Valencia
Woke up this morning with bundles of energy and determined to do my longest hike, just under 13Km. This was another absolutely beautiful walk. The walk itself was massively varied, mountain regions, road walking, valleys with a river running through them, and lastly a small town. The dogs had an amazing time as did…

Day 9 – Dog Trainer and her Dogs in Valencia
Went a bit further afield today. To a little town called Alcoi, which is in the province of Valencia, but not the city. The temperature was much cooler due to the height of the city, which is 562m above sea level. Did a lovely walk up a mountain, which culminated in a beautiful, huge cross.…

Day 8 – Dog Trainer and her Dogs in Valencia
I wanted a short walk as I had some other things that I needed to do, so I looked on my trusty app and discovered a walk only 13 minutes from my hotel. The write up suggested a quiet country style road for about 3KM. Upon reaching the walk it was anything but. Although it…

Day 7 – Dog Trainer and her Dogs in Valencia
Tried a park walk today with the dogs – not my preferred style of walk but felt it important to truly explore the city. There is an enclosed dog park, which I had seen and decided to visit with my three. It is a really well designed space, which unfortunately, is not looked after by…
