i have had fears of toby taking off and not coming back....... but after our camping trip (he was off leash teh whole time and never left or took off..... he often waited impatiently for me to climb over logs while hiking
) i have no fears at all...... he is not allowed in our apartment complex without a leash, but their is a "creek" near our home that i take him to and he is able to run to his hearts content. . . i honestly didnt think he was that well trained until i just bit the bullet and let my mom (yes....... the grandma is the one that unhooked him....... i couldnt bring myself to do it at first) unclipp his leash when we were camping. . .
I have a new apprecieation for my obediance teaching now (i didnt take any of those classes).... i admit i doubted him, but what can i say....
