Is ready for walkies when one entices into mischief (5,2)
I believe the answer is:
leads on
'is' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'ready for walkies when one entices into mischief' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'ready' could be 'on' (if a device is on it is ready for use) and 'on' is located in the answer.
'one' could be 'a' (a thing is one thing) and 'a' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'leds' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for leads on that I've seen before include "regularly taking tricks" , "How unruly dogs need to be taken" , "Lures (into trouble)" .)
