Hi, we took Tyson over the woods last night, had a chat with a few dog owners, dogs had a sniff ect. When we got in the field we, nobody around we let him off. He stayed close to us, came over when called, for a treat. When he has been on the lead we have had lots of dogs come over, on and off leads, and it has been fine, he is a bit scared at first (after being pined down by the throat by another dog, that got of the lead at the dogs home), but once he realises they dont want to eat him he is fine. I just dont know when to start letting him of the lead when other dogs are around, he has to be socilised in everything as he is large breed. Im worried he will follow the other dogs and not come back to me, we pass so many dogs all playing together on the beach, id think he would love it. Anyone got any tips???????????
