I'm just wondering how many people take their dogs for off leash walks?I'm fortunate that my house backs up to all the woods I need,so I have a safe place for my dogs to run.I have friends who own dogs that think I'm nuts for doing this.They always ask me aren't you afraid your dogs will take off and not come back?I tell them no I trust both of them.I can't lose them if I wanted too.I have taught them the "wait" command which means if they get too far ahead of me they wait til I catch up,also every so often they know to look back and check on me.I sometimes test them when they aren't looking I'll duck behind a tree or something and watch them,once they look back and don't see me they will come looking for me.So am I crazy for trusting my dogs to run free?
