I was so glad I had her on the lead today. We had a great walk and she really tried to hover, she even tried by jumping of the bank into the river, but nothing works...
Luckily I was watching as she attempted to drown herself and managed to pull her to safety.
Poor Pig. I think you should give up on the hovering and concentrate on just being you. The little dog in my profile pic decided he could leap down steps and stairs - ok when it was just 1step, but much more traumatic (for me) when it was a flight of stairs.
