LOST DOGS
(or WALKING YOUR DOG OFF-LEAD)

The guidelines given on this web page are only suitable for those dogs with reasonably low levels of stress, and should not be attempted with dogs with high levels of stress (their senses and memories are impaired by the high levels of adrenaline in their bodies).

Owners of these dogs should instead first concentrate on reducing the dog's long-term stress levels and having Managed Walks instead. They can progress later to off-lead walks, when they are more aware of their surroundings.
