Dogs off lead on the street

Agree, have 3 dogs and would NEVER have them on a road off the lead, partly because all being rescues they are not well trained enough, (but my old dog, had from a puppy was also always on a lead on the road), and partly cos they do love cats!,
Hayley S
All this talk we've had on here regarding dogs mess,muzzles,leads etc. It's not the dogs fault, it comes down to the owners I believe. They control this sort of behavior. The dog can't pick its own mess up or put muzzle/lead on. So it's time to blame ... more »

to get a gas bottle you have to pay (rent) for bottle and money for gas if you supply a bottle you only pay for gas I think you will find it in most places if someone know different let us know
Trevor G
I got mine from B & Q, you buy the gas and pay a deposit to cover the bottle, should you return the bottle at some point, the deposit is returned. Keep the paperwork however.
