Our dog does run her full out 20-30 mph...on a leash, hauling my fat a.. around the neighborhood on a bike with a special walking device....
We also can NEVER let our dog loose, with no leash or fence...even though she is now fairly well trained & has gotten socialized... many reasons for this: she is deaf, so there is no vocal recall. She was horribly abused, so shock-collar systems do not work quite the same...
Another reason?? there are people in the area that do not think eating domestic animals is totally out of line...and some local loose animals are rumored to have been dinner elsewhere... not my priorities, but I do understand what is not done in MY culture background is not universal in my neighborhood...
