I don't use anything on Gabby - she's my mature girl (almost 10 years old) and knows the boundaries at the house and will listen when called. With Gage, when we are home, I don't use anything but week-ends at the deer camp, I use a collar. We live in the country and I have a huge fenced in back yard that they can run and play in - too many big dogs not secured on our street (no leash law in the county here, is in the city though) that I'm just afraid to take them walking off our property so they have free run of the backyard - of course, I'm out there with them, especially Gage as he's so much smaller than Gabby, but they get out 3-4 times a day for 15-20 minutes at a time, if not longer.
