It is brought to you by the Functional Dog Collaborative, a non-profit organization founded to support the ethical breeding of healthy, behaviorally sound dogs. The FDC’s goals include providing educational, social, and technical resources to breeders of both purebred and mixed breed dogs, helping us all learn more about how to breed good companions who are fit for sports or work.

I don't have access to regular off leash walks, but will use a retractable in the park. Dogs know that then they can spend more time smelling as I walk or running a bit ahead. Gives them more freedom but still can be called back and short lead on street or near other people.
