We walked on that trail that goes off behind where the houses are built. Never been on it before, but it was pretty remote and not many other people on it. So Jim and I decided to let Ash try some off-leash time. He’s been doing very well at the dog-parks with listening, so.. seemed remote enough to give it a go. He did awesome! Learned pretty quickly where the ‘invisible lead’ ended, and he and Kylie would stop and wait for us or come back to us. If they missed it, we could yell Too Far and they’d stop and wait, and they’d come back when we called. So was great. He’s in Advanced obedience now, but it’s just generally practice for taking the CGC, so not learning anything new. Really trying to work with him on sitting and staying when we see other dogs on leashes, cuz he’s still got a bit of a manners problem on leash with other dogs out on a walk. Not so much in a store, so I think just needs more practice. The dogs were super happy to be able to run and explore together, it’s great he’s getting to the point where we can trust him with more and more freedom.
