| Re: On leash / Off leash attention issue Are you training with a loose lead? If there is any tension at all on the lead, you're right...he doesn't have to pay attention to you because he can FEEL right where you are. The way that I train (okay, the way I TRY to train...it's certainly an ongoing process!) is that the leash is completely loose unless I'm giving a correction and then it's loose again. If you're only doing clicker and no corrections, I would imagine the leash should ALWAYS be loose. Just a thought of course...I could be wrong as it's always hard to tell what's going on without actually seeing the situation.
