I have a lovely collie cross bitch who I got from Battersea 3 years ago. She is as all collies, very highly strung. She is very good at home, on the lead and understands the basic commands.
My problem is when I let her off the lead, she runs and runs, becoming completely deaf! We have a huge 40 acre field which I walk her in, but when I let her off she just goes and I have managed to get her back as she was unable to get through the fence, had she, god knows what would have have happend.
Any suggestions? She has to stay on the extending lead and I feel so sorry for her as she would love to go off and play with the other dogs.
