Last week we had a lovely walk to Tyningham beach. The puppy (well... not so much a puppy now) is allowed some free time with the two older dogs. I really feel this is important in order to learn how to socialise and behave in a big dog world. Using the long line I can also step in if I need to advocate for any if the dogs. It also allows me to work on recall with a way of getting her if she does ignore me.
She is having to learn to take turns with the ball and learning that when she hogs the ball the game stops.
As she is still young her running time is limited to protect her joints and after 5 mins she is back in hand and we work on deescalation and coming back down.
