Our chihuahua does fine until he sees another dog or the UPS or FedEx truck, then shit gets real for him. Taking him for a walk if he sees or hears the UPS\FedEx truck he tries to go after it.

Boudraux The Basset can be trusted off leash when in public but I don't let him go.
Lady the Basset, Black and Tan Coon Hound mix is a total spaz. We have 6 fenced wooded acres for them to do dog things in, Dig to their hearts content and more squirrels than they could eat in two life times. If the gate gets open and the coon sees it she will bolt. buried proximity fence is ignored. The shock training collar that doubles as a taser will flat put her down. Shes slowly learning. The Basset follows me every where and knows that the food is served inside the fence line, he aint goin no where. |

My dad has 2 lab mix sisters that are maybe 6 or 7 years old, got them when they were 1 year old from someone that couldnt take care of them. For about a year or two they would run off together, and take maybe 3 hours to come back. We figured because they weren't puppies when we got them they never learned young to stay close. They stay really close to my dad now. He just got a new golden Lab puppy 1 year ago. He sticks to him like glue and gets super seperation anxiety when my dad leaves his sight.

Our two dogs escape from our back yard when the gate was left open. Came home and saw they were gone from the yard.
They went to the front door of the house and stayed there. Another time my son left the front door open about a foot when he went to work. Neighbor came by and closed the door for us and saw both dogs inside by the door. I can work outside and my dog will jump in my truck and just lay in the back and watch me. I do put a leash on her when I walk, but that's to keep her from heading home before me. She's not the friendliest dog either. Her nickname is Cujo or Evil Dog.  |

This guy didn't wear a leash the last 5-6 years of his life and we'd go everywhere. Only thing was you couldn't bring him near cows, he loved the shit out of cows and there was no stopping him if he saw one. He was just an amazing dog, best one I will ever have.
This guy on the other hand....

I found him in Tuskegee National Forest in February of 2001. Someone gave up on him as a hunting dog, removed his collar, and let him go. We were on mountain bikes, and it took us over two hours to finally chase him down. He was dangerously thin, and almost ran himself to death. I took him back to my place, and he didn't really stand up for the better part of a week. I had to pick him up and carry him outside. He was probably two years old when I found him. He passed away in 2012, right up until he passed, people thought he was an adolescent dog based on his energy - he had only two modes of operation: On and Off, nothing in between. So, years later, here we are at this lake, and I'm thinking, "Where can he possibly run off to? What's he going to do, climb over the mountain range?" And, yup, he tried. 
On this same trip, I wanted to take him out to the flats at Bonneville just to see what he'd do with no physical boundary in sight. With no identifiable place to run to, would he just stand there? Or, would he say, "Screw you round Earth, I will find the edge!"? But it was so hot down there, it just wasn't a good idea. |

My cattle dogs were all trustworthy, but since I live on a street with a lot of traffic they were never intentionally let out without being on a leash.
I had a Norwegian Elkhound/GSD mix that was a runner. She'd bolt through any open door, dig under any fence that didn't have a 2 foot deep concrete footer and then run at full speed in a straight line for 4-5 miles before slowing down. I can't believe she survived to old age. My current dog was abused by her former owner and she's still afraid of me. She'll run from me, but if I get out of sight and the wife calls she'll come back. |

Krash doesn't have much use for outside anymore, he used to terrorize all the other dogs in the alley talking shit when they were locked up behind their fences. These days anymore than 5 minutes out doors he thinks he's in trouble. I told him once that some dogs actually LIVE outside. He said "cool story bro" and went back to sleep.

Cisco or "Dorky Dog" can't be trusted off leash.
Sometimes he'll pay attention to the pet humans, sometimes not. He can be easily distracted and will chase wabbits, cats or Godzilla. He sometimes will respond to "TREAT!" if you yell loud enough.
He's a great dog and we love him.
