I'm not a dog walker, I board dogs, but I never let a dog off lead until I'm sure its going to come back. That means I have to develop a bond with the dog first. I have some dogs that come to me that I've known for years but even though I have permission to let them off, I just don't as I know they will probably just ignore me. If they won't come in from the garden when called they don't get let off lead!
