| Beagles are notorious for going off. I would not run with them off leash. |

| Hounds are runners. Not all hunting dogs are runners. Our labs run side by side with us and come when called. |

| Don’t start practicing this activity by running on a trail and taking the leash off. Start by going into parks with a long 15-25 ft training lead. Train recall and practice, practice, practice on the lead. Practice under increasing levels of distraction until you are sure your dog is always under voice control. Then, and only then, is it safe to go off leash. |
