A good "safety" exercise to practice is a command that tells your dog treats are in the offing, and use it at irregular intervals when you are walking. Combine the command with a total release of pressure on the leash, preferably when your dog has firm tension on said leash. Then if something unexpected happens you have a built in reaction of the dog to look to you for a reward. This won't work if your dog is pursuing a major distraction, but should give you an edge if you have an equipment failure in otherwise neutral conditions. (you can carry this one step further by "accidentally" dropping the leash in a controlled area, or with a light line attached for safety, and practice until the dog turns to you when it feels a total release)

Reply to: comm-tubfv-2616151824@craigslist.orgOn September 14th, this older female brindle Basenji was found running around in a WinCo parking located at 5110 Montauban Ave. in Stockton. She had no tags, only a flea collar. Please email me at the anonymous craigslist address ASAP if this is your dog. Please tell me the dog's name. I will get back to you ASAP with my contact information. Thank you!
