Q: I feel so sorry for my dog. She's not a mannered pooch -- she does well at most things but "come" is a skill not yet mastered and staying close to her guardian is not important to her -- so on walks or runs she has to be on a leash. But I find that I can't run with her on a leash, because inevitably I come home with a twinge of pain. I think what happens is that holding the leash throws off my gait and I run improperly -- and I have longstanding issues with shin splints that this seems to exacerbate.
