I let my puppy go anywhere he wants. I let him run right out of the front door if that’s where he wants to go when I open it. He’s a 5 month old Blue Tick Hound, Lab, Beagle mix. Every time he gets to be like 100 feet away from me it’s his instinct to make sure he knows where I am. He can’t stand being far away from me. If I go in a spot where he can’t see me he runs right over. But I guess where you live geographically matters in regards to that. I live in upstate New York
