I’m wondering when would be good to let our 14 week old pup off the lead. He is generally good at coming when called in the house. At the moment he is on the lead when I take him out for a walk and in our garden when he needs to wee/poo.
Think I need to start teaching off lead recall in our garden and then work up to a quiet space outdoor elsewhere.
Everyone I meet say I should let him off sooner rather than later, but I’m worried that he will pester dogs and get attacked. He doesn’t seem to read signals other dogs give out because he is super excited. I don’t think it is right to let him loose to annoy other dogs and their owners.
Please can you tell me what age you let your dog off the lead?
Did you use a long trailing lead to begin with?
