Steph, I know another guide dog owner in my area who is totally blind and also 
has a hearing impairment. She takes her guide dog and a retired guide dog for a 
run and lets them go. She manages by having a much more orderly dog than I've 
got, and she keeps track of the dogs by attaching bells to them. They sound 
like a herd of goats wandering about! Evidently the bells are shrill enough for 
the owner to hear them OK.

Vince.

hi steph
sounds like your dog does ok for exercise anyway. i never do 3 walks a day. 
twice is my limit lol. i never do free runs on my either. most of my free areas 
r a good bit away so we have to go by car. i try to give her a run in the 
garden once a week.
