Since it is now getting nicer out, I been taking Shane on these nature tail walks, however, I have a few concerns I am hoping you all can help me with....
1. Shane received his Lyme disease shots, however, I am afraid he will pick up ticks/fleas or any other type of parasites and bring it home. What do you guys do to prevent this?
2. Finally, Shane for the first time discovered water, and he dove right in. However, I am scared to let him actually go all the way in because I don't know what kind of swimmer he is...how can test this. (note: I don't nor does anyone around me have a swimming pool to test this).
3. I am afraid to let Shane get too far away from me. He has good recall, but I still get very nervous to let him wander off (like a mother allowing a child to wander). I am afraid he is going to get into something or hurt himself to eat something he shouldn't. How do I overcome this?
Thanks everyone.
