...however, there are of course occasional fights between the dogs, and fairly common bullying that goes on. Also, I suppose, the disease problem.
And you’re quite right. It’s really not worth the risk. If the dogs absolutely, positively have to be off leash, we take them into the woods or on a trail where we can control the environment a little better. We’re fortunate in that we have access to places like that and a lot of city dog owners don’t. But we just prefer not to take the chance.
