I think the rule of thumb would be if you're not sure they will come back to you
Don't let them loose
My Zach I know will come to me anywhere

My Mike on the other hand I'm not sure of
In fact he tore away from me once to chase a cat
I nearly had a heat attack because if he'd been near a road I'm not sure what would have happened
If you've got acres and acres of land
Yeah sure ... Let them run and play
Make sure you have something with you that will be irresistible to them
Like atreat that they love or a toy
Don't ever get into the habit of calling them over and over again
If they don't come after two calls
You need to get them to you without anymore vocal calls
You never want their name to be just noise or worse a call to play hide and seek
