Awww Gemma I have to say, the title of this thread made me feel very sad for your cockers
Even if it was said in jest
I know that you have had many things going on in your life ( from your thread that was ongoing in Anything goes for a long time) but it's really not their fault and they do deserve to have arrangements made so that they can be walked
If they pull on their leads then you need to be working on that with them
Milo will walk perfectly to heel if I want him too, stick him on a lead and he can be a b*gg*r and he as strong as an ox, so I have to work on that with him as often as I can.
I take out two cockers and a toddler on a daily basis and believe me, that really isn't easy, as they all run in different directions
I know that sometimes it would be so much easier not to go out, when my daughter is teething and she is fed up, but that wouldn't be fair on the dogs.
There is loads of good advice here, and I know that you will want to do what is best for your cockers, so I wish you luck with that, and please how ever cross the mess makes you, ignore it and just clean it up. There is no need ( or benifit for that matter) to rant and rave or smack.
