I let Jackson off leash in certain areas. We live on 3 acres backing up to 90 acres of farmland and he's 90% reliable in coming when called. Of course, during the other 10% when he decides not to listen, luckily there's not much for him to get into with all that land. If you view my YouTube videos (my signature), you can see him off leash in our yard. Also, at a family members house, they live in a nice neighborhood far away from the main roads and are in a culdesac... a few times I've allowed Jackson to roam around a bit but I leave the leash hanging from his harness so he's easier to grab. I would never let him off leash near any main roads or unfamilar places. I have a 50 foot training leash that I've been working with him and let him go out all the 50 feet and then call him to me. So far he's doing pretty good. |
