Off-Leash Etiquette and Ethics

Listen Later

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
