5 4 3 2 1

Is a song by Manfred Man. It’s also a technique we use when walking Tommy. If he gets stuck on a smell when on lead, we sing ‘5 4 3 2 walk on’. It gives Tommy the chance to wee on the smell if needs be, but also some notice that we are walking on and to hurry up! This was b/f idea that I wasn’t even aware of till I moaned one evening about Tommy’s sniffing. It kinda works. But it has to be sung, saying it doesn't work. Singing ‘5432walk on’ also proves to the locals that although we work, we are also complete nutters!
