One thing you shouldn't do is feel sorry for dogs like these (well I always say that to people re Roobs) - may sound harsh but they really need to find their way and sometimes they will bump and maybe hurt themselves (not seriously but enough to yelp). Mollycoddling them can have a negative impact. Obviously you use commonsense though and don't put them in danger (mind you if you've ever seen Roobs go scrambling down a 6ft bank of rocks you'd think I was being irresponsible but she finds her way herself really well - scared the hell out of me the 1st time she did it, but I couldn't get to her in time, by which time she was safely at the bottom and heading for a swim).
