So here is my question:

"Do you feel at ease when you take a walk with your pooch - or do you feel eyes watching your every move and find it uncomfortable to do so?"
Our third year here with Caly. I have never felt uncomfortable walking her around, ever. People in general love dogs.

That said, I would feel uncomfortable walking her on a 20 foot leash out of control sniffing and doing business in my neighbors yards uninvited.

I am proud of the fact that Caly walks off leash (before anyone starts, she is in FULL control ). I have only had two dogs in my life that I can say I could walk anywhere without a leash. She walks at my side and always wants to sniff or whatever in a yard but is simply not allowed to. To my knowledge this does not make her unhappy, we have great walks and people love to stop and say hi, pet her or share a story of their dog....

So, in answer to your question, responsible and respective dog walkers will never feel uncomfortable in TV and it is a great place to walk.
