Hi!
I was just wondering how old peoples puppies were when they first started letting them off of the lead when out for a walk? Roxy is 4 months old and I'm reluctant to let her off of the lead, but my boyfriend thinks that I'm being overprotective and worrying too much! I'm just scared that if I let her off, she'll run away and not come back!
Any thoughts would be appreciated, we do attend puppy classes once a week so may ask the 'teacher' there next time but wasn't sure if it is a breed specific question so thought I'd post on here for advice!
(At the moment I'm getting great exercise cos I want her to be able to have a run but don't want to let her off the lead so I'm running accross the fields with her on her lead but it's getting rather tiring and as she's getting bigger by the day I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to run at her pace for haha!!)
