Letting my Swedish Vallhund off-leash has been a journey. They are energetic and curious dogs, so I only do so in safe environments where I can trust their recall. They have a strong herding instinct and will often chase after anything that moves, so it’s essential to train them well. My Vallhund loves to explore, and when he’s off-leash, I let him roam in secure areas, which helps him blow off steam. Socialization and training have made a huge difference for us!

I let my Vallhund off-leash, but only in secure parks where I know he can’t escape. They’re energetic and need the exercise, but they also can get distracted easily. The good news is, they are very trainable, so once your Vallhund knows your commands, it becomes easier to manage them off-leash.
