maybe its just me but i leave for work in the dark and return in the dark so my dogs only get one walk a day at the mo and its on the lead, im going to get my bike back out as i find its alot better for my dogs! i let one of them of the lead when i take them in the day as my dog in my avatar runs off, he never used to but he turned that magical 1 year old and all hell broke loose, ive tried every thing, long leads, electric collars, thrashings, being nice, not shouting, shouting plus more, hes just one of them dogs i guess, and the one thing he loves to do is to get to ground!
