When we walk off-leash (in safe, designated areas), I pretty much let the Bows walk ahead as they please.
Somehow, they know to stay within sight, and they never let me fall too far behind without checking back to make sure I’m following.
Don’t stray too far…

Our golden retriever is very good about staying in sight when off-leash, unless he rustles up some deer.
Strange question – but if they are scared do Shiba inus/Basenjis put their tails between their legs? It looks like it would be a little hard!
Not that strange a question. And the answer is yes, sort of:
(Blurry picture taken at the vet.)
Their tails droop and uncurl when they’re stressed, nervous, uncertain, etc. Sometimes they droop and uncurl just when they’re relaxed too. But if their tails are that far down, it’s often a good indicator of their moods.
Ah interesting! Thanks. So envious of those beautiful places with off leash walks – one thing we really really miss in Hanoi!
