A question I've got asked a lot over the years is; "How do I deal with off leash dogs running up to my on leash reactive dog?! ...or even the other way around! Some people know their dog is reactive and yet they don't leash or muzzle them! It's unacceptable to expect other dog owners to have to deal with an out of control dog! What do you think? I have my own suggestions, but would love to hear others...🤗

So here's a little moment of Ivy, exploring the pond near our house (my husband caught this on video!). 🦆🌱 Usually Ivy ignores frogs (and snakes), but she was quite intrigued by them here. Now, here's the tricky part: The pond's by a road, so it's already a bit disturbed, but still... is it okay to let her explore like this? 🤔 I think about this a lot: ✔️ Responsible Adventure: Giving our dogs freedom to explore is awesome, but we have to consider their safety andthe environment. ✔️ Wildlife Disturbance: Ivy's calm around frogs, but are we still disturbing the habitat, even in a disturbed area? 🤷‍♀️ ✔️ Navigating the Balance: It's a balancing act — letting our dogs enjoy the outdoors while being mindful of the world around us. I’m far from perfect, but I try to be thoughtful about these things. I’ve let my dogs roam in places like this before, but it’s always a question of how much to let them explore. What are your thoughts? How do you balance adventure with environmental responsibility? Let’s hear your experiences! 🌍🐕

I was wondering if others here do it. Do you cook for your babies? I do! I mix veggies and rice and boil them and when done I add raw meet grounded and they luv it!!!!!
