Re: Off lead in the park, or over the fields.
Hi,
You might find this post helpful, it's from a thread last year on here, all about problems with recall.
The dreaded recall
I know some members have shared their experiences with spray collars, but please don't use this for your dog.
I think your commitment and patience will eventually pay off, but yeah you do have to train everyday, and just take it one step at a time.
Given your dogs past I would imagine that he is just so eager to socialise, which is great and perfectly normal, he just needs to learn social skills to go with it.
So as you have already pointed out it would be a great help to take him on group walks with other dogs who have good social skills.
Hope this helps
