Every second they are out of their crates?!!!! That is what I was commenting on. I don't have rabbits running through my home or yard or a small child riding a big wheel backwards while singing "You lost that loving feeling" in Chinese through a megaphone? and you bet, the leash can and does certainly come off when doing formal work. In fact during formal work it is off more than it is on at the advanced training level and with my mature dogs. And by the way, while we are in the park training we have encountered small children riding a big wheel (forwards not backwards) and singing whilst dragging a puppy alongside them, going straight towards the dogs although the singing is in Spanish, not Chinese. I expect and my dog does continue with its work, or hold its position while I reset jumps or put out articles or gloves or.........
