People often ask ‘how old should my puppy be before I let him off the lead’. The answer of course is ‘let him off the lead from day one’. The reason, I hope, is made clear in this short video
If the rain stops for more than two minutes, we will make some more!

People do not seem to understand how dependent a young puppy is on you for leadership. When I tell people at work that I let Myrtle ( 14 weeks old)of the lead when I am over the fields they ask does she not run away. It is a shame to see people out over the fields with the dog on a lead. I wish more people where given the information regarding re call and whistle training as is in your bookThe first steps . The comment I have heard is I have a whistle but my dog ignores it. Have you trained it to respond to the whistle I ask. They seem to think the whistle is some magic stick that the dog will respond to with out training.
