Off leash no not in public. When we are outside in the backyard I still don't because there are big hawks around the area, plus the area can be busy. Gus can walk loose leash fine and we don't use the retractable leashes.
Gus is about 7months old while, Shelby is just 12 1/2 weeks old. Both can't be fully trusted without their leashes. But around the house Gus does have the chance if he behaves to be off Leash. He did pass with flying colors basic puppy obedience at Pet Smart.
Both dogs we use harnesses on them. They still wear Their collars.
