I have kind of chosen the easy way out by adjusting the routine. Rather than a late night walk around the neighborhood, I drive to a dog's walking area not too far away and let Bella and Leona both roam free for up to two hours. They both get a chance of playing, running and swimming there. And the people around aren't afraid of dogs so don't trigger hunting instincts.

It takes more time, but actually it's nice to see them playing.

And it made the late night rounds superfluous.
