The freedom to run and explore is the greatest gift you can give your dog, but trust has to be built. Good recall is a must…it gives you a better sense of safety and dogs need boundaries. I couldn’t see where my one dog was in the sage brush, but I could hear her dog tags. One thing that I rely one is either a bear bell or loud tags so I can hear where my dogs are even if they are out of my eye-line! She did come barreling back, but in the desert terrain it’s often hard to see a tan dog…so I rely on my ears!
