we walk our 18mth old cocker in fields and he is off the lead. He would never go to far and would always want to be able to see you. He loves to chase the rabbit smells. But these last few days he is off and doesn't care about being able to see us. Could it be a hormone thing, maybe theres a bitch on heat? More interesting than us!!! Would castration calm him down? help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
