As an example, you can see I'm holding on to Abby's leash in the drilling rig photo and Keeper is dragging hers about 30 feet ahead (wide angle shot), admittedly technically "off-leash" in Keepers case although a controlled situation. We were walking down a gravel road with good visibility in all directions.
Keeper is strong on verbal commands and stays close in that situation . . . and out of the forest.
Abby is none of the above, a real explorer, so she was being held.
I let them pile into the water on their own, although dragging their leashes as per the pictures above. I hover over them while they take their bath and when they leave the water I take hold of them.
If we're in the forest, I'll hold onto both . . . . or when people or vehicles are passing on the road.
Both were on leash and in hand in Fish Creek today, as per city ordinances, even when in the water.
On walks on our country road, Abby gets the leash while Keeper drags hers . . . we take hold of her if a vehicle is approaching.
