Wow tough question...I hate to give advice as it really depends on your dog..Reece wouldnt leave my sight for anything..not a squirel not a bird not another human being..he only goes from the door to the van and back in and never sways from that path...Soleil on the other hand at 6 months old I dont trust for the life of me..she would be off in a second..Id say it just depends on your dog..with Reece I never really had to train him to stay with me..he is my shadow and was like that since puppyhood..
