He has a extending lead but as soon as he's let off he just keeps running and running shame really cos he must do some miles when off the lead

Hiya from me and Vinnie, as said above a long training lead not an extendable one. Let him go and then recall, reward with a fave toy and a little play or a tasty treat you dont normally use Smile

Hi & Welcome from Flo and me Big Grin

My Flo is a rescue that we got at about 6 (estimate). Slightly different with her in that she's deaf but it's all about joint learning between the two of you and trust. It took us 18 months to build that trust. We used a long lead to start with as we could let her roam but still grab the lead if she went too far. We do have an extendable but found she was less responsive on that, I think it's because she could feel tension on her harness the whole time.

The key thing for us was not to let her feel we were tense when she was off lead, once we grew in confidence with her she did with us.

We now happily have her off lead. It takes some time but you can get there with an older Staff Smile
