Be a Responsible Dog Owner and Consider Using a Dog Training Collar!

Recommended Answer:
You are going to have to practice a lot more outside before you try offleash training outside. Most offleash training begins after they have learned to respond to commands inside and out. Most advanced obedience trainers recommend using a german pinch collar, but I wouldn't recommend using it without at least talking to a trainer about how to use it. Then you can start practicing with a retractable leash, gradually increasing the distance between yourself and the dog until he will respond to commands from about ten to fifteen feet away. THIS TAKES WEEKS! Then they are moved to a "longline" which is basically just about 20' of rope with a clip attached to your dogs collar, that they can drag around, that way if they do not respond to a command you can still catch them, but they are never allowed far enough away that you can't immediately grab the leash. Then they are moved to a short (six inch) lead with the german pinch, so you can correct them effectively, if they move out of range. Your best bet is to sign up for advanced obedience classes with a local trainer it usually runs $40 and up for a group class.

The Ultimate In Dog Training: Schutzhund Dog Training

• do lots and lots of training out side in fields and place where it is secure and also you need to be more exciting than anything in the field so you may have to be a loony to get his attention! and really praise him when he comes back


• Do more training on the lead outside.
  Then progress to using a long (30ft) training lead or extendable lead.


• So more practise outside on a lead so you are in control
