We took Wylie to obedience training when he was younger. Our Humane Ass'n offered a wonderful class at a great price - me and hubby learned sooo much, and so did Wylie.
Still, Wylie is a "runner", I gotta say. We are very, very cautious w/ him. In our neighborhood - our HOA has a big park for us for fetch or whatever - and Wylie *loves* that park. So, if we allow him out of our door and don't keep our "commands" right on top of him at all times - he
will take off for that park, which is in his site.
Whereas Marcel would not run -- he sticks right w/ Mom and Dad.
