hi amanda, if you've noticed, i never off leash my dogs in an open area unless i'm training them off-leash exercise. even hunter who's been trained off-leash for years will always be leashed in public when going for gatherings and stuffs. my reasoning is no matter how reliable a dog could be, there is still a possibility that something might trigger them to run off. what if they get into trouble? what if they never return? i know it's common for many dog owners to off-leash their dogs for fun sometimes, but my dogs are really too precious to risk that. just my thought. and don't worry about your dog thinking you're bad la. she knows you knows best and would appreciate the safety measure. my dogs are always on leash but always enjoyed themselves in every gathering. PS : should not be able to make it to the gathering. Muffin is going for a video shoot for some independent film on the same morning. can you believe it, she is more busier than me.
