• @umop3pisdn - it's not such a bad plan....
    @Sumo - generally recall is good...

    Here's what happens :
    wake up, make a coffee, get the bag of kibble, etc ready, get the lead on, walk out, do some sit stay come on the way to the park. get into the park, try to walk up the muddy trail. Stiff dog (warning). "bailey where's dad" (my definitely works recall cue). runner.
    "woof woof woof" run up "woof woof woof" circle. runner either stops or carries on. I walk up quickly saying "bailey" and "stop".
    then put the lead on, apologise.

    When she's on the lead, I can have her sat next to me and ignore the whole of park run going by her (500 people or so).

    I'm guessing a bit "ooh wtf is going on in the park" plus "off the lead" = anxious? Should I feed her before going out? I don't think so?

  • Sounds like you need higher value treats for these situations? We tend to have general treats and some “emergency recall” treats. Generally human food that he doesn’t get often
