My family and our two golden retrievers recently took over the family farming operation and moved to the country. Previously we lived on a 1/4 acre city lot. Now we're on 4000+ acres. Our goldens have adapted well to the farm, but unfortunately they have developed a habit of roaming, sometimes miles at a time (for reference our nearest neighbors are 2 miles away. This area is VERY rural). I have no doubt that they recognize our house as home, and they certainly aren't eager to leave every time they're off leash. When I keep one in the kennel, the other will never roam on its own. Has anybody dealt with this before? Growing up on the farm our Aussie mix had no roaming issues and was never on leash and there are other farmers with free dogs that seem perfectly content to stay at home. Not really wanting to keep one in the kennel or on a lead all the time. Any advice appreciated.
