That said, you can never be 100 percent certain. I've heard of an akc champion show dog who ran out in the street and was hit by a car.
But you can definitely cut down on the risk by teaching your dog to obey the stay and come commands. Eddie, now 3 1/2 years old and the graduate of about six or seven obedience classes, is now 100 percent on stay and maybe 80 percent on come. I'll take it! |
When I wrote this post I had you and Eddie and Jack in mind.
I would love to let my two run free... I never knew how fast Chewy was until he went wild on the beach. The only problem with the beach is there are almost always big huge dogs running at top speed at us!
I have no problem with big dogs, but I like to know they are friendly first.
At the vets yeaterdays I was weighing Sadie, (The scale is on he floor) This guy comes in with a huge dog... and let it run right up to Sadie.(She is 20 weeks and 3 pounds) I asked him to please hold his dog, and he goes on and on about how his dog WOULD NEVER hurt her. She got scared and peed all over the place!!!! (More then I ever saw a 3 pound puppy pee in my life!) Some dog owners don't have the brain they were born with!
I'm gonna try to work on the off least and stay come comands... Thanks!
