Great list post, I think this is something all dog owners need to be reminded of! People need to think really carefully before letting their dog loose unsupervised or walking/hiking with their dog off leash. Even if your dog has a great 'come,' that still doesn't stop other off-leash dogs from attacking or your dog messing with things like skunks, opossums or rattlesnakes. Then again, it is a balance of considering the probability of threats/dangers with the joy the dog gets from being able to run around a bit! Highly trained, reliable dogs often do just fine off leash or with minimum supervision in low-risk situations. cheers, Mary H. http://stalecheerios.com/blog -- a serial for positive animal training.
