scalesntails 118 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Mine get put on the lead until they get to the nearby field in case they see a cat on the way. Once in the field I let them off to run around until they have enough and come and lie down next to me. This can take anything from 10 mins to 2 hours depending on their mood. I then walk them a few miles along the coastal path and then put them on the lead and walk home the road way. If I see any other dogs I usually clip them back on as while they are not aggressive if a dog has a go at one of them the other two will pile in and help him. Quote Link to post
