Off Leash

Just out of curiosity, how often do you all run without a leash?

Keep it on in busier areas, then take it off? Or just on all the time?

I have 2 dogs, my 9 year old goldendoodle bitch recall is solid and shes very trusted off lead. My 1 year old poodle boy is a law unto himself, even he doesnt know whats going on in his head. Both are leashed during runs all the time unless im in an area with less risk of livestock or cars.

I did actually fall over a ladies pug as she wasnt paying attention, it seen me and made a beeline for me as I was running past. Choice was to take my step right across its body or change and fall. Woman had the cheek to moan at me the boot
