OK! Someone please explain to me... What is 7 feet away from me, when the leash is only 5 feet long and 13 feet away from me when the leash is 12 feet long! What smells so good, 16 feet away from the dog run, when the cable is 15 foot long and then suddenly when on a leash, that wonderful smell is under the dog run? I love my dogs, more than life itself, but this just doesn't make sense to me! Put them on the dog run, so they can run, and smell 15 feet on each side, and they are ONLY interested in that smell 16 feet away...... UNTIL........ you take them off the run, and you are walking them on that 6 foot leash again, and now that smell has made it's way to just beneath the cable, and you are having to raise it to go from one side to the other! Here's another one... Your walking your dog, he is pulling, he just has to go one foot future so he can stick his nose directly into that smell. UNTIL...... You walk over there, then the smell has moved, and he goes directly where you were standing in the first place! What is up with that? So tell me please, what is it about a dog, that they just have go that extra 1 foot, no matter how many feet that have before that??? ho hum, Nocturnica

I couldnt agree more, made me laugh too, my dog does that and he is always tripping me over only time he walks nicely is when I have the buggy then he walks neatly by the side of it and behaves think il have to carry on using it even when my youngest wants to walk everywhere!

Well, they behave just fine, but it seems they ALWAYS want to just see how far they can reach at certain times. Now, if we are at the park, other people around... they act like perfect pets. But at home, when noone is around, they are NOT the same animals, lol Thanks for adding to the discussion Nocturnica
