Good luck! I have to say, ours never goes off the lead. She's on a stretchy one and she hares around the garden whenever she wants so she doesn't miss out on exercise! But I just don't trust her and find it too stressful - although you sound as though you know what you're doing with dogs. We had a dog because my daughter was so desperate for one as a little girl - and although I love her to bits, I wouldn't have another (dog that is, not daughter, although I won't be having another of those either!) In truth I'm more of a cat person - perhaps that's why she gets so cross when cats visit our garden
