#169 Why "When Can He Go Off Leash" Doesn't Have One Answer — Off-Leash Timeline Explained

October 14, 2026 · 17 min

Show notes

"When can he go off leash?" doesn't have one answer — and neither does "what's the difference between good and yes?" In this episode, our alumni FAQ series covers the marker language behind every command and the real, dog-specific timeline for public access, off-leash freedom, and run of the house.
