Dog walking off leash is a fortunate possibility of happy dog owners who have safe place free enough for a dog to run off leash. Here arises the question: does a dog feel its owner as a pack leader in this situation? How the handler keeps leadership if the dog is walking off leash? Yes, it is possible for a dog to walk off leash, run, explore the woods and still see you as a pack leader. In the order to keep the leadership, you should make the calls and decide when it is OK to explore and when it is time for the dog to come back to you.

You may check the dog to be able to walk off leash and keep obeying you 
by a simple test. Ask the dog heel next to you without the leash. You 
the dog obeys, you are doing the things right. If you are not able to
