When we hike he always goes towards the ledges and I'm like ARE YOU SUICIDAL and yank him back! He wants to die I tell you!

If I were to let Koda off leash on our hikes, I'm pretty sure I'd witness him falling off the mountain

I'm just about positive that Adobo would do the same or just keep running for Donner Pass.

and i feel so bad when hiking with eddy and his free dogs and i look at my 2 and say sorry you go over the edge! i do hook their leashes up to a retractable leash so they have some freedom!

Yeah, I don't know what it is with the edges. It worried me at first, then after about the 30th time I quit thinking about it. Mine just take a quick glance and move on.

Wait-- he fell 50'? or 10'?! Big difference I feel!

That would really suck! Maybe the 800' plus drops keep them in line. That and squirrels seem to disappear about 9,500' elevation. Otherwise these guys would never know a world without a leash.

I'm so glad I joined this forum.. My husky Blitz I thought it was just me not being able to train him properly since I know quite a few people whose huskies - at the moment - seem to be ok off leash, but Blitz takes off. I tried e-collar training off leash since that's how I've done it with all my dogs before him, and he just would keep going unless we really pumped it up on high, but I hated doing that the first time so I never did it again. I take him to a tennis court with a 10 foot fence and let him run around in there... there's no grass but since he isn't good with other male dogs I can't really take him to a dog park... I'm hoping since he just got fixed yesterday maybe he will calm down and we can slowly start to introduce him to dogs and hopefully get that fixed.
