lurcher330 2,301 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 A mate of mine to looks after my dogs when i'm away went to take them out for a walk in the field i walk my dogs and when he let them off the lead they all turned around and ran back to my house LOL But i had the same lad's dog house in my yard while he was in a bit of bother ,i had her for over a year until she had to be put to sleep due to cancer ,but i used her as if she was mine and i think she would be still here is she was still alive Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aye, i'd say so. I think the thing is with the dog in question, you pretty much just take her a long and she does what she thinks is best, and you dont really give her any instructions, and it's day work, which i think makes a difference. I just dont take her anywhere and do anything we wouldnt normally do. But it is always still in the back of your mind that something could happen. But she is an old bitch and these are her last few working years, so it's good for her to be able to get out as much as possible. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ratreeper 441 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I have taken a mate's dog out when he couldn't be bothered to come with me, but to be honest I didn't really enjoy it much I was a bit paranoid it would f**k off, hit a fence etc and he would never speak to me again!
