Although I wish Sophie could do this, you still have to keep a constant eye on them so they don't eat things they shouldn't. I suppose I'm forever confined to a harness/leash. Unfortunately, we have many parks in our town, but none that are dog parks (fenced).
Joey's unlike any dog I've ever had, and I had way more time to train and work with him, but he really has a mind of his own. Some dogs are into that "You are my master" mode, and love it. It's not that I think I spoil Joey, I'm fairly firm with him, but he doesn't always do what I tell him to do. He seems to think about it, (you know the little head tilt) and decide for himself whether he wants to or not. Anyhow, I don't trust the little bugger.
