MudgieI cycle with Nacho and another dog most evenings. They run ahead of me or at the side of me depending on where we are on the route. If they are ahead of me it is because I have said “on you go” this is particularly good if there is another cyclist or jogger around. They are under my control at all times. If they want to pee they pee if they want to sniff they sniff – they are off lead and they can do whatever they like as long as I deem it safe- it is their time too.
Yes I want them to be under my control but I want them to have some pleasure in sniffing and mooching about and generally being a dog having a hunt. Trotting alongside me for 10 miles cant be particularly interesting for them.
No offence sweetypye because I have no doubt whatsoever you adore your dogs and vice versa but sometimes I think you need to lighten up a bit. ;D
