I would have thought that was pretty low risk.. We have a small field behind our house ( well an area of grass between us and the cemetery about 10 houses and gardens long) I think I may restrict myself to that though my dog won't be too pleased.

Bless you. Thank you. I’m normally on a common near my house but gets a lot of walkers. My dog will not be happy he is normally out for an hour. So ball games at home. Hope you ok and take care. Thanks x

I use a lot of games at home as mine very nervous so our walks avoid other dogs. Save empty yoghurt pots and stack with a treat between each one. Lay trails of dogs breakfast or hide to sniff out rather than feed in bowl. Trick training. Old loo rolls treat inside and fold ends up. Put plastic recycling in a box witb a few treats mixed in and let your dog search. Ditto old magazines newspapers screwed up in a box. Sorry afibbers - totally off topic

Yes mine is nervous when a puppy mauled by dogs that a women had 6 of. He sees a dog now he doesn’t know and freezes. I have to kneel and hold him till they go. He loves balls. But thank you for those tips. I will try some of them. They sound good. Cheers.

Yes sorry of topic. I’ll stop now. How are your hearts behaving today. I can feel mine a bit jumpy today. Anxious today.
