Yes, my Silken does well off leash; just needs some training first.

I generally trust my Silken off leash, especially in safe, fenced areas. They love to run, and their instinct to chase can be strong, so supervision is key. I keep them on a leash in busy places.

I trust my Silken off leash during our morning runs on trails. They've got this unique charm where they love to explore, but I've trained them to come back when called. Their sight hound instincts make them curious about everything, so watch out for distractions like squirrels! Overall, if you're consistent with training, it can work well.

I must admit, I have mixed feelings about letting my Silken off leash in open spaces. They are such speedy little dogs, and while I love their energy, I worry they might dart after something they see. It's crucial to have a reliable recall, which I worked hard on. If we’re in an enclosed area or at the park during quiet times, I feel comfortable letting them roam a bit. Just keep an eye on them, as they can be quite the escape artists.

I usually allow my Silken to run free at the dog park, but I watch him closely. They can be surprisingly fast and have a knack for getting into mischief. A good recall can really help.
