Not nice.
It's why I said 'if needs be'  If it's obvious your pup is paying no attention to you, you may well need to run after it to stop it getting lost or hurt or running out into a road or something.

The idea is not to let them off while there are distractions - a big open field where there is nothing but you will work.
Also dont let them off regularly until recall in your garden is as near as you can get it
