sandy, yes, I frequently let sunstar off leash to play. However, for me to
do this, the area must be enclosed (fenced in, or doors locked) smile. When
I lived in california, I often had a chance to go to the off leash park. I
always went with someone who I trusted to help watch sunstar. However, I
very rarely shared this info with other dog guide users because their
comments made me feel as though I was doing something absolutely taboo!!
Since I have moved to cincy, I let her play in my fenced in backyard. I did
take her to one off leash park, but don't go there any more, because I don't
feel safe. Also, someone left the outer gate open and my dog was gone
before I knew what happened. My emergency recall had no effect.
Fortunately, she did come back.

Hi all, I wondered if any off you routinely let your guides off leash to
play. I was scolded by a client (!) because the only time Alex is off leash
is
at home and twice at a off leash dog area to swim with my sisters dog. I
would
like to hear about your experiences both good and bad.
