i am extremely nervous about letting my dog off lead but only because ive made myself so. just because of what happened to bailey. i know that he was a beagle and had strong strong instincts to hunt and chase things.

but now with skye (flat coat), she is very very people orientated, and never wants to be far from me. i have never let her off lead myself.

she gets let offlead everyday though, but by my parents. im still too nervous to do it, even though i know she will come back. she has already proved she has excellent recall. i will get over it, i hope!
