How I live life off the leash: Living life off the leash means exploring new places, thinking outside the box, getting outdoors, and bringing my puppy along for the ride! My golden-doodle (Daisy) inspires me to be more active and she helps me stay motivated during challenging hikes and other adventures. We live life off the leash by trying new things and getting outside of our comfort zones. For me this means pushing into my fear of heights during an exposed section of a trail. For Daisy that means learning to swim in the deeper parts of the lake where her paws can’t touch. Life of the leash is about facing your fears, learning from mistakes and challenging yourself and I love that The Black Dog helps us do all of those things in style.
