Walk goes bad

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!
