  Off leash is 100% safe with a Pyr when they are 
  in a securely fenced area. Otherwise, with the right motivation (and sometimes 
  with little or no provocation) they become a dis-a-Pyr.

  My experience completely. Prys have selective 
  hearing and can be very hard headed. There is no way to be 100% safe with a 
  pyr off lead. Is a dead or lost dog really something you are willing to 
  chance? On lead they are safe. Off lead there is no such thing as 
  safety.
