Interesting. Our dogs are only loose in the garden and on long walks off road so to speak. The older dog goes on an extending lead - which is all he's ever known the younger goes on a short lead - just taken them both for a walk around the village. Both dogs are well socialized with humans and the older dog will generally ignore people when off the lead - and interacts well with other dogs - although he has an issue with one in every hundred dogs he meets (no literally of course) - he had a disturbed upbringing and is very wary of people in the home. He's generally kept out of people's way - although he is a lot better than he was before the Springer appeared. The Cocker has got issues but they are managed. They were both exposed to fireworks again this Nov. 5th - the big dog is excited by them and loves watching them - the little dog is definately not afraid of them but more curious than scared.
All three of us had a howling session tonight. Works for all of us.
