RECALL & OFF LEAD WALKING!

Vegas has been out on alot of walks since she had her full course of vaccinations. We have mainly taken her to Saltburn Valley Gardens which is lovely, loads of people and their dogs. when its been quiet we decided to let her off the lead, as we trust her to come back and stay besides us when walking. Today she was absolutely great, we walked for miles with her off the lead, she was no bother. if she walked ahead, she would stop and wait for us to catch up. If she was walking beside my oh and i was walking behind, she would look up at him and then look back at me to see if i was still there, it was well funny. When we saw a dog we didnt know we put her on the lead just incase she ran over and the dog was nasty or didnt want the bother for her being a pup. She was so happy having the freedom to run and walk off lead. When she went too far, we were calling her and she just came trotting back to use, great recall and we havent really drilled it into her.

I bought a recall lead when suki was really small so she had a bit of freedom on the beach and feilds but i still had controll, now she walks off the lead and i only put it on near the school not for her sake but for the mums that look at me like iv brought a gun to the school. Because we have only have titch for 4 months i dont trust him off the lead unless suki is with us because i know when i call her she will come and titch will follow but i dont think he would come back if he saw something more interesting came along

none of mine ever listen to me lol, we have to keep them all on the lead most of the time and just let them off when theres no one around. they do come back eventually but not very often first time. haha. not worth the effort trasining really, much easier just to stick them on the lead.

if my yorkies were off the lead they would do a runner no way would i get them back lol

mine are great off lead the only time mine are on a lead is when walking by roads.... sometimes they are naughty and dont come back first time but they usually very good!!!!

suki is good off the lead i dont really use one till im near the school, i only use it to stop people panic-ing

Pepsi seems to walk better off lead than she does on her recall is great, she wont go far if I don't recall her she runs back to see if Im ok , built up areas or towns and she is on a lead for her own safty really

about the same as us

Vegas is getting the hang of coming back, i still dont trust titch off the lead he still growles when he see's a new dog, he is getting better but i just wouldnt risk it with him.
