Leave the lead on but let go of it. That way you can catch him if you have to. We did. About four weeks in we just let him off,
That way he gets to wander around, sniff, investigate at his own pace. And walk several times the distance I do.

My advice to you Tara,take a different route,so you avoid the dogs,dogs will always be off leads in certain places,they need to be exercised.

I nearly ran one over the other day when it ran straight across the road in front of me. Fortunately for my car I was going below the speed limit, otherwise I would have hit the thing. The owner didn't apologise as he should have done.
