So lately my dtr has been going on walks with us and she discovered that if you drop Pixie's leash she will walk so nicely right along side me, I never am more than an inch away so I can grab her, also we live in a very quiet neighborhood, with no through traffic. My dtr has the other 2 on leashes so I can give Pixie my full attention. She loves walking now, but if I pick up her leash she hits the ground and refuses to budge. She was not abused but older when I got her and had not been on a leash. I cannot explain why she walks without the leash being held on to other than she is the pack leader of the 3 and feels she doesn't want to be restrained. It is so nice to be able to take all 3 for walks now. |
That is so interesting about Pixie liking to walk without you holding the leash. Hmmmm. I'll have to try it in a quiet area.
