This is from todays walk - poor things exhausted now - looks like ill get a good nights sleep! (who am i kidding - he's up already - where do they get the energy!!!!????)

Enjoy the off leash time while you can. Nice video.

As relaxed as I look, I've always got an eye on him When he starts wondering further away, I'll probably start leashing him!

LOL.......... hope your fleet of foot. I thought I could catch up to Adobo once, but she proved to me I'm about as fast as a snail compared to her.

Great looking pup you've got.

Well, about a week ago i was twice as fast as he is - now... not so much! he is getting stronger and faster every day - he doesn't wonder too far though so for the time being, I'm comfortable with having him off his leash when there aren't any cars for him to run in front of!

We just tried letting our little guy off the leash just today he's 4 months old. I keeping hearing and reading that Huskys are not an off leash dog. Our little guy did great... Judging by some of your comments...it probably won't last long?

I used to let Embry off leash all the time when he was a puppy, before I knew they shouldn't be. I usually only did it when we went to the dog park, because he'd run straight to the gate to go in, around 6 months he decided that he could go wherever he wanted. We chased him around the perimeter of the 10 acre dog park for about an hour before we caught him.

The only time Luka is leashed is if he is walking to or from a park - I would hate for him to dart across the road and get hit by a car... Even during that video, we had to cross two roads along the trail - i just tell him to wait up and i leash him to cross the road - being off leash is nothing new to him - he knows he can chase whatever he wants and go wherever he wants - he also knows that "come here" means "come here"... I can call him back from any chase he is on and as long as I know his surroundings are safe I am happy for him to be off leash, after all, even though he hates letting those squirrels get away, he knows that there will be a billion more to chase along the way - I just love seeing him free and would hate to keep him on a leash at all times - its a risk I take but I believe its worth it.

My husband learned a lesson from my other husky. She was always on a leash and one day he ask why i never let her off. I told him she would run and never look back. Well a few years later we moved to FL and he started letting her out without a leash. I kept telling him not to do it and he was like she doing fine she stays with me blah blah blah. Well she finally ran and it took me and animal control 2 days to find her. Her coat was a mess and she very dehydrated she was such a sad sight.

Yeah we just let him off the leash at a nature trail by our house and if we got close to the road we'd get the leash back on him - or if we saw people we'd do the same. And if we'd hear a russle or something in the leaves or in the trees we'd try to grab his attention before something else did. And right now he only runs off in front of us a few yards than stops and looks back. If he goes to far to yell and call him back and has come back. So we'll use better judgement where and when to let him off... but as far as being next to a road - he's not going anywhere near it without a leash on.

I had Blaze Microchip when he was Neuter he was 9 months old when we got him he is 16 months now.

He has gotte n out the front door a couple of times we had a hard time catching him (being we are alot older than most of you).

I take him to the nature park for walks all the time on Leash only.

My daughter takes her Aussie she can let him off leash and he comes back to her when she calls.

I like the video off luka off leash I wish I could trust Blaze.

I can't imagine seeing Luka in that state :/ I guess America is a bigger place - everything here is a lot smaller and closer together! I know one day he will get carried away and i'll have to go running after him, just hope he doesn't wonder too far! Started young with him so hopefully he will be alright!

I had Lady for 8 years before we moved to FL. She was really good dog she listen very well and did things on command. But one day she seen the opportunity and she took it.
Like the Bruce Springsteen songs says... Born To Run

Here is another video of Luka!

I live on a 10 acre grape vinyard with 10 ft deer fenceing and I still keep river on a tie out. we have spent an hour triing to get him back in the house cuz if we leave him to roam he will try and dig out and go after our woodland kritters and im pretty sure river would lose againts a 4pointer buck. better safe then sorry for sure!

i have mine microchipped but you need to make sure its registered so they can locate you, i have read that people will microchip but never connect it to a site that provides the person that found them with contact info.
