Once in a while I like to (and should) take a break from the cute photos on here, and instead give you guys the occasional example of how we keep ourselves under control, and not be a collective menace to society like professional dog walkers are sometimes so quick to be accused of π₯²
My Monday lunchtime gang, loading themselves back into the van individually once they hear their name. They could easily go and bounce around the car park for 5 minutes of extra fun and get distracted by the public, but they don't WANT to, because getting in the van is what gets them praise from me and is what the rest of their mates are doing π€
I will never compromise a dog's safety by not using a lead if they need it, but the aim is to always get as many gang members to listen to my voice first, so I've got maximum control options in my arsenal π If I'm solely relying on a lead and it breaks, or human error means it gets dropped, and the dog has zero voice control, that's a problem π₯²
