Alex Lowe and his Tree-Climbing Pup

This week, the brilliant Alex Lowe joins us - and brings one of the most unbelievable dog stories we’ve ever heard.His rescue dog Millie doesn’t just chase squirrels… she climbs trees. 30 foot ones. We also hear about life at home with Millie, her dog song, and the slightly chaotic reality of working from home with a very needy pup.Elsewhere, there’s the near-disastrous Juniper and the Toblerone incident, some genuinely useful dog training wins, and Jack delivers a hauntingly accurate rendition of the old Toblerone advert.Oh, and Sean records the intro from a car in Piccadilly Circus. Obviously.See Alex Lowe aka Clinton Baptiste on tour! https://www.clintonbaptiste.com/tourThe dog-chocolate calculator: https://dog-chocolate-calculator.vets-now.com/Become part of our "Off The Lead" Pack on Patreon: patreon.com/omdpodSee Seann live: seannwalsh.comSee Jack at the Palladium: jackdeecomedy.comJoin more than 185,000 people in signing the petition to shut down MBR Acres: https://act.animalrising.org/shut_down_mbr_acresEmail us: [email protected]'t forget to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP TO OUR NEWSLETTER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: http://tiny.cc/pjwu001Follow us on IG: @omdpod @juniperomd @thecampbeagle @animal.rising00:00 Intro from Seann in Piccadilly Circus00:15 What’s coming up with Alex Lowe00:30 Sean locked out of his house and everyone's involved02:10 The rusty key safe problem03:00 Behind the scenes “slick podcast” joke04:10 Mildred meets a Dachshund at the café05:10 Sudden dog standoff and near fight07:00 Dog dominance and lap height theory08:00 Mildred barking training breakthrough09:00 Simon’s tip explained10:00 Juniper’s “guarding Bedford” behaviour11:30 Dolly getting older concerns12:30 Night-time anxiety and eyesight worries13:40 Idea for a night light fix15:40 Juniper eats Toblerone 16:30 The chocolate toxicity panic17:20 Emergency vet visit and induced sickness18:20 Cost, insurance and aftermath19:30 DCI Seann Walsh investigates20:00 Jack performs the Toblerone advert21:00 How Toblerone got its name24:20 Patreon.com/omdpod - Off The Lead24:30 Introducing Alex Lowe25:00 Alex meets the team25:30 Meet Millie the rescue dog26:30 What breed mix is Millie27:30 Alex’s first family dog Rollo28:30 Coming late to dog ownership30:30 Millie climbs trees 31:30 How high she actually goes32:30 Millie and squirrels33:30 Getting up and down the tree34:20 Dog voices and Alex’s song35:30 Millie demanding attention while Alex works from home 36:50 Spectral Intercourse tour chat37:30 Does Millie miss Alex on tour38:30 Anxiety licking and vet concerns39:30 Why Millie can’t travel with him40:30 Dogs on the bed debate41:00 Does Millie kiss Alex on the mouth41:40 Clinton Baptiste at home42:30 Outro and reflections43:00 Signing off
