In this episode of K9 Conservationists, Kayla Fratt talks about off-leash etiquette in order to keep your dogs, yourself, others, and the environment safe.
Discussed in this Podcast:

Off-leash is a privilege and owners carry a responsibility when utilizing that privilege
Ensure your dog has solid recall, especially around distractions
Look for signage; follow the law - if the trail or area is on leash, there’s a reason for it
When you arrive at a trail, observe your surroundings

Are there lots of cars indicating lots of people? Do the cars have bike racks? If so, is your dog reliable around bikes?


When in doubt, use a long line
Not only do you have to think about the safety of other people and dogs, you also have to think about the environment
Your dog should not chase any wildlife; even if they don’t catch it, that is undue stress on wildlife
Do research on what animals live in the environment you’re in to ensure yours and the wildlife’s safety
