Off lead

I let Daisy off the lead without her training line today up at the reservoir, she was ever so good   

Aww good girl Dias

Yay! Gonna keep trying? x

Yeah it's given me a bit more confidence   

Aww excellent :-D

Thats great hun - why do you not trust her off lead anyway? I can't ever remembering you saying Xx

Selective recall and getting hold of her!

The more you build confidence, the better it will get. So much fun seeing them off lead.. Well done you two   

Thanks Ian   

My poppet is brilliant off-lead ! Just walk by my side and I feel it is building mutual trust lol

feel your pain hun, cant let marley off anywhere near to prey so can only offlead him at one end of park x

Nice work Daisy  , watching our dogs off lead running, sniffing around is a great joy. Keep up the great work Daisy.

Good work you two - bet Daisy had a ball and so glad you felt good about it

Thanks for the encouragement everyone xx

Must have felt great    

Well done the both of you!   

Well done Daisy  

I often let Rocky off the lead now for a game of fetch but I can only do in one particular place where I can see for miles around   

Aww well done Daisy Xxx

 xx

ahh good girl daisy,i bet you were so proud of her   

Well done Daisy   

I use a football field

Its fenced off and people rarely use it - especially after 8pm!

But I wouldnt let him off leash anywhere else :l

We try to let Theia of lead on her main walk everyday. She is never more than 20 feet or so away from us and just toddles along. What we can't get her to do is chase the ball! Fine with it in the garden but not when you want her to at the park. Her recall is brilliant, so far, but she's never been near enough to another dog off lead to blank me yet!
Keep up the good work.
Pete.

That's great!!! Wish I could let Marquez off lead but as we live in the centre of Jakarta with the worst traffic in the world and more people terrified of him than not, I'll have to continue to keep him on a lead. Can't wait for next month when we move back to Europe - he's going to be in heaven at home with all the safe space he'll have to run around off lead

Another successful off lead walk today   

Yay that's great!   

Fantastic Saz... It's so nice seeing them off lead doing their own thing isn't it  

Oh great news! well done 

Yeah it's fab   

There's nothing better seeing them running freely. They look so much happier. Well done Saz and of coursr the gorgeous Daisy x

Glad its going well hun it is fab seeing them run free! and much better not to keep getting tangled up also   

Just a wee suggstion which you may have already tried. Call her to you frequently while on your walks. Put her lead on and walk a short distance then let her off again. Do this several times. The purpose being, to not reinforce in her mind that when the lead goes on the walk is over. She will be less reluctant to come to you. I do this with Bacchus because I have to be very careful with him off-lead near unfamiliar dogs and he never objects to having his lead on. In fact I only need to show him the clip end of his lead and he'll sit to get it on.

Aw well done both of you xx
