After what you've been through, that must've been a hell of a moment. One of our guys is mustard near roads, so we have to make sure they're well away from them before the leads come off.
Cute little fella - massive schlong too.

try using a 10m training lead, it can be dragged along by the dog but is much easier to grab than a jumping hound. they can be useful to help keep a dog a little closer to you, you can give commands like "easy" and apply gentle pressure to the line when they are getting too far away, and train a "stop"command where you actually put your foot down and get them to stop
then when you want to go home swap to a normal length lead.

My new addition, Chester, caused me major panic yesterday....
I'm lucky, as I have loads on fields and woodland literally on my doorstep for walkies, but we have to cross one busy road and go through a hole in the hedge surrounding the rugby club. Normally, I get them to sit until the road is clear, then we enter the field and I can let the three of them off the lead and they can run around to their heart's content.
Mr Riley and Lola are very good when it is time to go back on the lead and head home, and up until yesterday, so was Chester, but he was reluctant this time.....the bugger kept bouncing around, just out of arms length, and had clearly not had enough walkies! I didn't know what to do, and was in the middle of calling my son to come and help round him up, when he decided that he knew the way home, and made a dash for the gap in the fence at full speed.....I literally put my hands over my ears and squeezed my eyes shut, as I didn't want to hear him getting run over.....nothing happened, so I looked through the gap after tying the other two up to a post, and he was sitting on the kerb, with cars whizzing by, looking at me.....to cut an even longer story shorter, I pretended to feed the other two food, and caught the little git.
So it looks like separate walks, with Chester on a retractable lead for the foreseeable......I hate having to keep them on when they don't have to be.
