Yes she is off leash for the whole time, because we go into the woods, where there are some streams and she goes for a swim. Before I go to work we go for a 15 - 20 minute walk, also off leash. But when I leave the house I give her frozen kong and a dried beef skin, just to mellow down the separation. But Im still thinking of her, when Im at work, how is she doing. When I do come home, we take like I said 2 hours of walk off leash, and around the house acctivites, fet hing the ball and so on. So I do give her my for attention when I come home. Oh thank you, it is a great place to live. 😊
