| Re: rotties off lead
Shelby can be walked off leash with no problems - I always have her on leash around traffic areas though. We have 80 acres where we can have both dogs off leash at all times. It's a wooded area with about an 8 foot wide mowed trail that we walk on. It's awesome. What's nice about it is that no other dogs should be on the land. We always ask our other friends with nice, well mannered dogs to join us on these walks.
It's great for working on Hudson's recall. At the start of each walk, he gets a treat. That way, he KNOWS I have yummies in my pocket. From there, even if I can't see him in the woods, all I have to do is call his name and whistle and I can hear him running back! Shelby tends to stick close by, she likes to have us in sight. |
