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)

Rou was lost earlier today-6/5 in East Aurora in the neighborhood of Murphy Creek. Aurora is a suburb of Denver. He is microchipped and wearing a blue collar with tags that have his name and the owners phone number.
If they have not found him, I hope a search party can.
Here is the ad:

The Craigslist ad has been deleted, so I have to hope it is because they found him.
