Re: Who else is nervous of letting their dog off lead?

i am now i never was but as soon as zeb him 9.5months his ear switched off!!
A few weeks ago oh was walking him off lead for his last walk (whch is late at night) and he legged it up the road near a road and was close to being hit by a car. It scared Oh that the fact hes being doing this walk every day for 7months off lead and the one times he legged it he couldve been seriously hurt
Now hes on lead at all times, and we are buying a long line to hopefully get his recall back

Bears is pretty good to be honest his is around 98% mainly because he doesnt like leaving me for long

mine are off lead most of the time ... im just more wary of letting them off when there are other dogs around but when i see the dogs mind their own business with their owners then mine are being let off too

i use chicken and sausages but he's much rather have rabbit if he finds one. in fields, he's much more responsive and just trots along and minds his own business and comes when called all the time, but as soon as we hit any trees or woods, his mind switches and it's too many smells to think about me. i might try liver cake. can you buy it or do you have to make it?

Frollicks are a good recall aid, and you can break them into small pieces. Problem is, nearly every dog we meet can smell them in my back pocket and they start following me much to the annoyance of their owners.
