Yes, good luck with that! I would love to have a dog that well trained. My Westie, well he can never be off leash. He would just take off after a squirrel and come home when he felt like it.
Sometimes if we are in a wide open space; I'll let Lucy's leash drop behind her and let her run. She runs around and if you clap your hands; she'll come running back to get a 'good girl'. Then she's off again. But she will not let me get out of her sight; so she doesn't stray far.
I only do this if there is no one else around. If other people or other dogs are there; she has to stay on her leash.
Years ago; there was a man who walked around town - busy streets - with his unleashed little Yorkie walking beside or behind him. He/she never strayed from that man's side. I have no idea how he did it!
