Parker and Star are fine in the front yard off leash.. she usually listen unless they see a bird
so it has it's pros and cons.. the nice thing is tho.. they do not dart out the door.. if ANY of mine go out the door.. they just go on the porch to greet whoever. Bentley and Karlee have a mind of their own..sometimes they listen..sometimes they don't..so they usually do not go out front w/o a leash
