You're not being a wuss. Until you know he'll come back it's sensible to be cautious. A long time ago we thought we'd cracked it. We were on the polo fields in Windsor Great Park where I always walked him on a 15 metre lead. We let him off and let him go a hundred metres or so and then enthusiastically called him back. Perfect so let him go again walking along behind. Called him and he came back. Third time gone for an hour and fifteen minutes and only got him back by him accidentally running into us on another part of the park. He'd had a lovely time but I forgot to mention there was a good three inches of snow and it was too cold to be stood about waiting for a miracle. He's not been off the lead in about 10 years except in secure premises.

I’d love to have the confidence to let Odie free in the woods, but he’s just so easily distracted. I’m probably being a wuss, actually, aren’t I?
