''I'll walk the dog...''

[AnnaCatherine]

My girls (12 & 14) walk Pip every day and take him to the park for some off lead play.  He is very good a recall and we've had no problems.  It wasn't something I ever really worried about.  The girls are sensible, Pip is (fairly) obedient and I think the respopnsibility is part of growing up.  Sometimes my youngest meets up with 2 of her friends and their dogs for a walk and a play in the park.

Mmm difficult one  Im not sure id let him either  Poor wee poppet  He's meaning well isnt he 

Mmm - now would you think my eldest shouldn't walk any of mine?? (He only ever walks one at a time, would never let him take two or all 3 out at once tho  )

When I was 12 I wanted to walk my dog, and my mum wouldnt let me either  It was because (Pongo) Our Dalmatian was so strong, So  she made me train him in the garden instead, I did it for about 2 months, then We were allowed to the end of the road and back, the to the park with my friends.... etc... Im sure Wilson would love to go on an adventure with your son!! It will be fine!!! x x
