Leicester_H Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Hi My 2 will generally 'walk to heel' if I blow my whistle and hold their red treat bowl but I was thinking it would be really nice to be albe to take them for proper little walks !! However, this would require a leed or harness of some sort. I supose this is completely out of teh question ??

Egluntyne Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I think you would have every stray dog in the locality following you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_H Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO The harness would REPLACE the whistle & treats !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Eh? Do you mean that the "proper little walks" would be confined to your garden. I had visions of you taking them out onto the pavement and attracting the dogs. I must confess that I can't see the point......but if it takes your fancy.......

Guest Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I had a rat years ago and wanted to be able to take him for walks round the garden (without him escaping) and we bought a small harness and leash and he hated it, he wriggled out of it like a contortionist every time we put it on him. I'd be a bit wary of taking a chicken for a walk in case you came across the path of a big dog that fancied chicken for dinner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjules Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 When I was 9 or 10 I used to take my pet ferret "Bugsy" for walks with a harness and lead. I used to get a lot of strange looks as we lived in north london! Bugsy could hold his own against any animal, however big, but I'm not so sure about a chicken!!

Blonde Chicken Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 The harness is so funny - none of my girls would sit still enough to let me put it on though K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
