He'd be ok off lead if I could trust him not to run up to other people and jumping at them like a crazy loon. There's a bit of faff putting him on the lead to pass people.

Rosehip Dec 2017 8:47pm, 17 Dec 2017 9,848 posts	0 Rosehip I've given up trying to run with Ralph - on lead he pulls me along faster than I can cope with, off-lead he either trips me over or runs off after a hare. He stays close and on best behavious when I have a ball in my hand - but running, not a bloody chance!

soozie Dec 2017 9:31pm, 19 Dec 2017 192 posts	0 soozie Mine runs pretty well on the lead though she gets a bit bored after a couple of miles. I have run with her off lead a couple of times but she gets too excited and tries to trip me over! I'm sure it's just practice though.
