We Suddenly Lost Our Dog To Hemangiosarcoma

Dog Accidentally Exposes Where Husband's Been When Wife Takes Him For Walk

Dogs can sometimes quickly learn the routes of their walks to the point that they lead the way, which can be a good or bad thing depending on who you ask.

For one owner, it turned out to be a drawback when his springer spaniel, named Jinky, took his wife straight to the village pub where he had stopped for a sneaky drink on a previous solo walk.

"It was really funny," the wife, who recorded the evidence and shared it online, told Newsweek. "I sent the clip straight to him."

In the February 11 Instagram reel, Jinky, known on the platform as jinky_springerspaniel, picks up on where his dad had taken him the day before and takes mom there. The husband had made a quick pit stop on their walk just for, you know, hydration. And his little secret was not so secret anymore.

The wife explained that she was filming because she was tracking Jinky's loose-leash training.

"We've been training for so long as he used to pull on his lead like typical spaniels do, so it was just fab I caught it," she said.

Loose-leash walking is a training method that teaches dogs to walk next to their owners without the use of a tight leash. This important skill makes it easier to take them out in public as they will not pull and likely won't react to seeing other dogs.

But the training takes time and patience. Well, maybe not for Jinky since he knows there's a nice cold drink waiting for him at the pub.

The hilarious Instagram reel reached viral status, racking up over 4.1 million views, 195,000 likes, and 294 comments as of Thursday. Viewers have been cracking up at how willingly he was to bust the husband.

"He's so excited to tattle tale on his dad too," commented one Instagram user.

Another added: "Lad needed a cold one."

But it turns out this isn't the only dog who has outed an owner's pub trips. One user said: "Yep, had the same thing. When I asked hubby, he said he couldn't understand why they pulled me towards the pub door. My reply, you've been rumbled!"

The dogs must get love, attention, and something yummy at the pubs because why else would they keep going back?

Among the various dog breeds to consider, the English Springer Spaniel often comes up in conversations for its friendly nature and manageable size. But when considering bringing a dog into a living space, especially an indoor environment or a compact living arrangement like an apartment, it's essential to choose a breed that matches your lifestyle and housing conditions.

So, are English Springer Spaniels good indoor dogs, and can they adapt to living in an apartment? Let's delve into these questions to understand more about the adaptability of English Springer Spaniels to indoor living.

Do English Springer Spaniels make good indoor dogs?

Known for their lively spirit and affectionate personality, English Springer Spaniels can indeed make excellent indoor dogs, provided you meet their physical and mental stimulation needs.

These dogs possess an adaptable nature which allows them to thrive in a family environment, forming strong bonds with their owners. Their medium size makes them manageable indoors. Moreover, their cleanliness is a notable trait, which is a plus for any indoor setting.

However, it's crucial to remember that English Springer Spaniels are energetic and require regular exercise to maintain their health and happiness. This includes daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation through training or interactive games. Without this, they may resort to destructive behavior or become restless indoors.

Can English Springer Spaniels live in apartments?

Living in an apartment with an English Springer Spaniel is possible, but it comes with its own set of challenges and considerations. Apartment dwellers need to commit to taking their pooches out for regular, vigorous walks and providing plenty of activities that can tire them out.

Fortunately, these dogs are intelligent and train well, making it easier for owners to incorporate obedience and trick training into their daily routines to keep their minds engaged. It's also advantageous to seek out nearby dog parks or open spaces for them to run and play off-leash in a safe environment. Furthermore, you should consider an English Springer Spaniel's need for social interaction, as they do not like to be left alone for long periods.
