If we happen to be boondocking where I can let them run and explore they will come along, otherwise they don't appreciate being confined or on the leash.
My sentiments exactly.
I don't let my animals run around and explore in unfamiliar and uncontrollable situations. Too many things can go wrong and i've seen enough of them over the years to not chance my animals' safety.
They can explore just fine at the end of a leash - and i'm close enough to stop them from jumping into a water canal and drowning, or falling in a hole and breaking a leg, or getting a rattlesnake bite in the nose, etc.
