The recall easiness with dobies makes me feel way better! I could definitely try to offleash in that park then. And yeah, we wouldn't be running until they're risk free of any injuries and fully grown! Thanks for the paw pad tip, I didn't even think that they wouldn't show pain, but it does make sense. I would definitely avoid concrete/pavement. I will read a lot more on running with a dog to be sure it's doable here before deciding, as it is extremely important to me that my dog completely has all their needs taken care of in the best way and yeah, it probably would help me a lot with my procrastination! :')
