Carolyn Pike Roman Webboard User Reg: 03-20-2007 Posts: 559 Loc: San Antonio, TX Offline	Anyone tried this LeashOff-GameOn DVD by Absolute Dogs? Just curious, it keeps popping up in my Facebook feed. I am somewhat suspicious that it's "free" lol. Always on the lookout for new relationship games that we could try no matter where they originate, though. Hope everyone has a good weekend! eta: just to clarify I'm not planning on running out to my nearest park and losing my dog by going off-leash without 100% recall, lol. I'm sure we could do these in the yard, too.

I don't know anything about that DVD but for years I I've trained primarily off lead. Since I learned about markers 15+ yrs ago it's been almost all off lead. I will add that this is starting with young puppies. After 3 months or so the pups will have a bit more adventure in them so an older pup won't get quite the freedom a younger pup does. My beginning training is ALWAYS in a controlled environment regardless of methods or age. I have many of the DVDs offered her on Leerburg and a number of them address this. The Ellis DVDs in particular. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks

Frankly I don't believe at all in a 100% reliable recall. Especially on walks you can't foresee if some time a high level distraction might turn up, which is too strong for the dog to resist. Carolyn, you write your always looking for new relationship games. I've found one which two of my dogs love crazily. Teaching them how to play with Frisbees. I don't mean tossing far or very high. The dogs first had to learn that playing with Frisbees is really fun. Then catching them out of the air. The goal is to make them catch multiple Frisbees one after the other. They drop the one they have in their mouth in order to catch the next one, which is already thrown in the air. My dogs catch two, sometimes three in a row, but with enough training they can learn to catch many more. Great, great fun and really energy burning. In the following link by Zak George you can see how it is done. Just skip the stupid ad which appears first. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPGkH3Dm7Yo “If you can keep your head when all around you are losing theirs, then you are a leader” – Rudyard Kipling
