I did off leash training with Buddy in doors first, however, outdoors
he forget's everything ever taught to him. If I had a back yard
I know things would be different but walking him on the street with
other dogs is too distracting and dangerous but it was fun teaching him.
He's amazing indoors. He walks next to me, stops when I do, lays down
when I tell him and when I start to walk again he's up and walking
right along side of me looking up at me for instruction and step for
step he's right along side of me.
Now take it outdoors he's dragging me down the street
They learn fast and love new challenges. Have fun with it.
Good luck,
