just to add,couple weeks ago i was walking mine in the local park,they dont really leave my side couple metres at the most,the pup will show interest in another dog passing by but the 2 1/2 year old bitch doesnt even give them a second glance
from behind the trees came a fat lumbering lump of an american bulldog type thing with a woman running behind it calling frantically,ok it wasnt running toward me aggressively but heading my way,she caught it up and grabbed its collar meanwhile i had put both mine on the slip,if anything was going to happen it would have been within kicking distance ,sh
