Before using an e-collar, make sure you understand its appropriate uses, and the uses that can cause harm. Use the corrective stimulation sparingly, and never as a punishment. If the stimulus is not properly timed, e-collars are not effective training tools.Any responsible dog owner will do their best to keep them from harm, but what can you do when you cannot always be around to watch them all day? Just as you would with a child, you would want to teach them how to be more independent, more obedient, and, most importantly, safer when you are and aren’t home watching them.

In the UK where dogs can be off leash in most parts of the countryside, it’s important to have your dog wear a training leash until you are confident of your recall. Chasing rabbits and deer is a common problem in many breeds of dog and you need to be alert to avoid problems of this nature getting started. The same applies to off leash trails and open country in the USA. There may be less traffic hazards, but predators and dangerous terrain post an additional risk to a dog chasing wildlife or running about unsupervised. Free running on the beach But if you have the time for intensive training, and your dog has the right temperament—there’s something uniquely free and fun about hiking with your dog unfettered by a leash. You can allow a little more freedom while maintaining control by using a best double ended dog lead. This type of lead allows your dog to explore while you maintain control

Other hunting dog supplies helpful for off-leash excursions include locator bells that let you ‘hear’ your dog on the trail, and long-range whistles—though these require a repeat of recall training with the whistle substituting for “come.” Don’t chase: There’s little chance you will be able to outrun your dog. More likely than not, you'll only encourage them to run faster and farther if they think this is now a game of chase. Worst of all, a dog who is trying to outrun you will pay less attention to possible dangers in front of them — like cars! For a dog, nothing beats running freely without the hindrance of a leash. Not only does it provide the autonomy to explore and play, but it also means your dog can tap into their instincts and practice their innate problem-solving skills. However, while off-leash activity is great for your dog, adequate training is needed for their safety and that of others.If your dog is off leash and you see another dog, you must recall your dog. It does not suffice to yell, "my dog is friendly!" If your dog will approach the other dog, put them on leash until the leashed dog is no longer in view. This is a courtesy that would solve a lot of problems, and prevent a lot of dogs and people from getting hurt. What to Do If Your Dog Starts to Run Away Factor your dog’s temperament into your decision to go off leash. Some characteristics that indicate she’s a good candidate: Off-leash dog training is a challenging undertaking and a serious responsibility. When your dog is off leash, you don’t have the same level of control as you do when she’s on leash. The risk of her running off is higher, and you can’t keep her close by your side when you encounter other people, dogs, or wild animals. As loving and friendly as your dog may be, there is always a risk that they may hurt other people or animals. Whether it’s through biting, getting into a dog fight, or accidentally hurting someone due to their raucous behavior, off-leash dogs can always pose a risk to others. Increases the Likelihood of Running Away Start your training in a slow, low-distraction environment. First, show your dog a toy or a tasty treat and praise them as they are coming to you. After a few repetitions, whenever your dog looks at you and starts to move towards you, add in your chosen verbal cue (“come,” “here,” etc.). Make sure to only add in the cue when you are confident your dog is moving towards you.
