• Ooh, thanks for this, far more reasonable. You got any experience of them?

    And yeah, there's nothing to suggest he will run off, he's great off lead, stays in sight and always comes when calls. BUT, he's 8 months and used to the parks of SE London, he hasn't had a grouse explode from heather underneath him or caught the scent/sight of deer in the woods etc. If there was a decent and not ruinous contingency available I'd like to have it when needed rather than rue not getting it. If anyone has a review of dogtrace I'd love to hear it!

  • Honestly id just keep him on a lead...

    I didn't buy one in the end but someone on here recommended it and it's also well used in Spain.

    I also don't practice what I preach and my dog runs wild, he normally always comes back, when he's ready. But I did have to go collect him yesterday.

  • Yeah, I don't want him on the lead all the time if it can possibly be avoided. Maybe long lead for the first walk or two, see if he goes wild with the new smells etc. But what's the point having a dog who's great off the lead if you then just keep him on the lead whenever you go somewhere new? Will look into reviews for the Dog Trace. Cheers.
