get too ahead

Is this sentence correct please?
My baby boy like to walk on his own but if I get too ahead, he'll cry so I have to walk to his pace.

When could you use "get too ahead" if not here?

Thanks

Anonymous When could you use "get too ahead" if not here? It's understandable, but not correct. You want "get too far ahead".

Hello CJ,

Could you tell me if these are narturally worded?

Once the dog is far enough ahead that you think you could run in the opposite direction and lose it, do so.

Once the dog is far enough ahead, run in the other direction and lose it.

If the dog is too far ahead, call it back.

Thank you very much

The second and third are OK, but the first one has more words than needed, so it doesn't sound as natural.

Once the dog is far enough ahead to lose it by running in the opposite direction, do that.

Your second sentence basically says the same
