Because Bear needed an ecollar correction for blowing off my recall on the last rep here does that mean he’s not ready to be off leash? Not necessarily- the fact that he came back in a high state of arousal when corrected and did NOT blow off the ecollar stim tells me he’s ready. If he had blown off my recall and the ecollar stim and I had to use his leash to get him back- THAT would tell me he’s is not ready to be off leash yet. I really pushed it here with Bear- you never know what life may throw your way when your dog is off leash and if you don’t train for as many scenarios as possible you have no idea how your dog may respond.
