Mini rant incoming.

𝗢𝗳𝗳 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗗𝗼𝗴𝘀 𝗢𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀!!

I'm seeing more and more dogs being walked off lead down pedestrian paths next to roads - why is this?

Just this morning I saw a man walking his Frenchie without a lead on - he had the lead in his hand but chose not to use it! His dog ran straight into the road! Luckily there were no cars coming but it could have been a very different story. The man got cross with the dog but yet still didn't put it on the lead. Was it the dogs fault? Absolutely not!

Last week my dog reactive dog was approached by a much bigger off lead dog on a path. Just because it was wearing a collar saying "Friendly" still doesn't mean my dog wants it anywhere near her.

My question is, why is this happening? Is it because they think it looks cool? Is it because they have no regard for their dogs safety or the safety of other pedestrians or car drivers? Is it because they think they're dog is so well trained they don't need a lead? Is it because they pull on the lead?

My plea here is please, please put your dogs on lead if you're walking near roads. There are plenty of parks around that you can safely let them roam free. All dogs have their own brain and could make a wrong decision at any time. How would you feel if you're dog got run over? How do you think the driver of the car would feel if they ran your dog over?

Just consider and respect everyone around you and keep your precious dogs safe.

And if you need help with lead pulling give me a call!

This week I met Cody. He's such a good boy so I can't wait to get started on his puppy package with him 😊.

Moose and his family have been so much fun to work with. I think he's doubled in size since I first met him 🤣
