[nagdu] going off leash

[Meghan Whalen]

I think Hannah is looking for advice and support, not a drawn out 
discussion on why one would not relieve his or her dog off leash.  She 
has already stated that she knows this is not the best option.

I think the best advice given thus far is to get her wound up and 
playful while out there.  She may just need a bit more activity to be 
stimulated to go.  It frustrates me that so many people have to deal 
with extensive relieving issues upon returning home with new guides.  It 
took almost two years for me to get my last dog to the point where I 
knew I could run the trash out or something and she would not have an 
accident.  Hers was purely behavioral and entirely frustrating!  We are 
bringing home 2-year-old dogs, they should be able to handle relieving 
where they are supposed to, for Pete's sake!
