Yes but if you have a strong recall and have had your dog by many roads, strange people and dogs then you know your dog will listen to you no matter what then I believe it's fine.
I agree if something happened your dog you wouldn't "feel any better" but it is because you didn't have your dog well trained and that means you cannot trust your dog. In my situation my dogs love, trust and respect me enough to know what I say is for their own saftey. |
