Yep, I don't even want to think about the alternative to her running off. I'm quite shocked really that anyone would cycle on such narrow paths inside a National Trust area... it's normally regulated pretty strictly and there's often a man walking looking for horse riders and cyclists to ask them to leave, so it's always previously been a really safe place to let her explore.
I'll try her out today and see how she goes. I really hope that area isn't spoiled for her permanently cause there just aren't very many good, safe places for a dog to run around near here during the summer months (the nearby beach is off limits to dogs during summer and it's a good drive to a beach she can run around on)
Maybe I'm just panicking over nothing and she will spring back
here's hoping!
