[quote=Anonymous]He is taking a significant risk. I have a dog who loves to play "catch me if you can" with us. He runs off, waits until we get close, then runs off again. He could easily get hit by a car if we did this in our urban neighborhood. When we want him to come, WE run away, and he tries to catch us, then when he gets close, we attach his leash. Despite working on formal recall, this game is still the closest we are to getting him to return. He's also reactive to certain dog breeds, so just for that we never let him off-leash in our neighborhood, which has a certain number of them. So yes, I think you need to be careful all the time. Don't forget that a farm might have horses, other dogs, etc, and that your dog might go entirely nuts with the new smells. It's a good idea to start off with on-leash rounds of the farm.[/quote]
