I would like to train Olivia to be able to run and play off of her leash. My mom has a huge yard and I think she would love the freedom. (Unfortunately, it's not fenced-in) For anyone that allows their yorkies outside off of a leash, how did you get to the point that they were able to be unleashed? Olivia would have to master the "come" and "stay" commands, but are there any others that are essential? Should I wait until a certain age? Right now, she is still quite active and I worry whether or not she would listen to me and come over doing what she wants to do. (She's rather head-strong!)

Can anyone offer some advice?
