I taught my dogs to informally check in with me whilst out walking, as often I do a great deal of training during the walk and they will keep an eye on me to see if I am about to “let the games commence”.
Also they have learned that seeing another dog is a cue to check in for permission to visit or a wait or a recall.
Keeping walks unpredictable (as far as possible) has heightened this. I like a nice balance between being comfortable at quite a way from me (could be 500m for the Wei) but ready to hit base if needed.
