Walk goes bad

Aw man, I hate bad walks. But I'm glad they're all pooped and happy now!!!

Reminds me of this one time a few years ago when I took all 5 of my Hoodlums to the baseball diamond to play. I only did it one time, it was THAT bad. One's slipping under the fence and wouldn't listen to a word I'd say, 2 of them found a critter hole and were frantically hunting, then 2 of them started fighting over a toy which makes the other three jump in and attack whoever they want to...it was bad. When you have a Rottweiler shaking and bleeding because she was just attacked by 3 retarded Jack Russells it's scary. Then I had to cram all 5 back in my little car (good thing we didn't walk!), tie one Jack Russell under the front seat because she was still in "kill mode" while holding the other Jack Russell on my lap because she's going after the one that's upset. Good thing I only lived a mile away. Never again.

Oh how awful! Leashes are your friend, and can save your sanity! I'd not let any of them off-leash for walks for a while.

And as good as Shyanne normally is, she IS still a beagle - you know, a nose propelled by 4 paws - and I would not ever let her off the leash in an unfenced area.

I have to agree with Karen. Sounds like a stressful ordeal, if not lots of fun for the dogs!

You could get a few super-duper long lines... 50 feet or so. The dogs could still have room to run, but you would have a safety net if they decided to take off.

shy has lived outside, loose for 2 years with never a problem. A ten year old beagle that doesn't ever do much of anything and sudenly she turns into seabiscuit out there! I was pritty aggrivated with her, but I still couldn't help but be suprised by her efferts. I may invest in a fence, but apparently nothing can keep Brownie in, or out. The little booger has lost two collers in two weeks! I don't know how he does it!
