I wouldn't let my babygirl off her leash. She's waaaay too unreliable. I'm even paranoid about letting her out in our fenced yard because years ago we had a dog that dug its way under our fence no matter what we did to keep it from getting out.
It would kill me if we lost her. Our neighbors used to be real casual about their little dog. They let it run alongside off-leash when they biked around the neighborhood. Then one day, they were biking down the main street with the dog next to them (she was very obedient also) and she veered too close to the street, and a car somehow veered over and hit her. She was killed right then and there.
So I wouldn't ever let my girl off her leash, only in our backyard, and even then, it would be under supervision. |
