Before undertaking "off the leash" training , dogs must have completed the obedience "on the leash" training or equivalent.
Allowing your dog to be "off the leash"could be very risky , The answer can range from now to never. all depends in how well can they handle the circumstances that this event will bring . And how well they are trainned to come back ,When the individual is responsible and trustworthy enough for you to have the confidence that he or she will not bring harm to him or herself; others ( people , dogs or any other living animal ) . You can apply this same principle to your dog.
Is your dog socialised enough that he or she will not be fearful of or aggressive towards other people and dogs. Can you trust your dog not to jump on people (especially children), fight with other dogs, pick up garbage, invade picnic lunches and so forth? shy dogs will often bolt if something frightens them.
Can you control your dog off the leash? Will your dog really come back and stop on a dime from a full run when told to stay? These commands are essential for your dog's safety. Some dogs when let off leash will simply run away. Other dogs will chase a tennis ball or cat right into the street.
If you are willing to risk the safety of the public, the safety of your dog and the security of your finances (paying your own or someone else's medical or veterinary bill, facing a lawsuit, etc.) then you'll let your dog off-leash before someone who is not willing to take the risks.
Obedient, trustworthy dogs are a product of a lot of training , dedication and commitment.

 

Second Level : Off The Leash

 

Heel:The dog learns to walk at your walking pace and when you stop walking the dog does an automatic "sit ".

Sit:The dog learns to go into the sit position at command (with hand signal & voice or just the signal).

Down: The dog learns to go into the down position at command, again with hand signal & voice or just the signal.

Sit from down position: The dog learns to obey this command at the sound of your voice or just using the hand signal.

Stay: The dog learns to stay completely static or to "stop dead" if the commands given while the dogs in motion.

Come: The dog comes to you at command, finishing the exercise with an automatic sit.

 

The dog learns to perform all the routine exercises mentioned above but with the ability to do it, off the leash plus he/she learns different variations of the sequence of the routines and you acquire full control over your dog, off the leash at all times.

The final objective of all our different trainings is not only the perfect performance of the exercises, this are just tools to control your dog, the relevant mission of this training is that the dog learns to obey, and listens to you, because he /she has been introduced to communication trough the different commands that they learn in our courses .
