Of course, I usually start training off leash. Simple things like sit, stay, shake, roll over, etc. Using small bits of treats as a reward, I find it much easier to start this way and then move on to the leash, because the dog will already have some idea of what is expected of him/her. Eventually, I stop using the treats, substituting lots of praise instead. As long as you use positive reinforcement for a job well done, you shouldn't have any trouble.

We have hunting dogs and dobermans and we start from puppy age and work them off lead. We start in the large fenced yard and work on a leash and then move them off leash in the yard until we get good recall. Then we work them in the pasture with scent and training dumies and keep out one or two of the older dogs. The pups will come back when the older dogs do as they tend to follow the older dogs and learn from them.
All of mine can be turned out loose to go potty or walk at heel off lead.
Our hunters are turned out loose all over the place to hunt.
You can teach anything off leash that you teach on lead. The most important thing is a good solid recall even when there are distractions.

I started with solid leash obedience. Then I dropped a 10 foot leash and made sure I had a solid recall and he could heel. I asked my neighbors to put their dog about fifty feet away, and after alot of patience (thirs and mine) I have a dog who I don't really have to worry about getting loose. We had the ten foot leash on for awhile, but I still don't trust him to heel off leash.

never ever attempt it until your dog is solid ON leash... then you will start very slowly and if the dog makes a mistake,,, back on leash..... get into a competitive obedience class,, you will have fun and you will eventually be able to start showing your dog...
