What to do if Your Dog Gets Off Leash
Use a secure collar when walking your dog. If you use a buckle collar, you should be able to get two fingers snugly under it and no more. Martingale collars are great, especially for dogs with narrow skulls. When adjusted properly, it’s nearly impossible for a dog to back out of one. These collars are humane, and when fitted correctly will close tightly enough to prevent escape but not so tightly as to choke. Harnesses and head collars are also very secure. The collar should have identification on it.
