Dogs aren't supposed to be fully trusted off leash until they are 2 years old anyways. I read that somewhere.

I live on 3 acres, with 90 acres of farmland behind us so I do let Jackson off leash at times. There's been a few instances where he runs off too far and won't come back but we haven't really worked on recall too much... so back on the leash he goes.

I bought a 50 foot training lead and have been working on him going out all the 50 feet, sniffing, chasing, etc, and then calling and having him come back to me. It's been going pretty good. Always have treats in your pockets =] I definitely wouldn't trust him off leash though in many other areas... just our farm land. And my dad's house... they live out in the country with a street of like 12 houses in the middle of nowhere. I let him jump out of the car off leash and run into my dads house.
