When did you first let your pups off their leads?
I thought I would try it with Barney yesterday in the fields. I made sure the cows were no where near and that there were no other dogs.
I was terrifed incase he took off though. Anyhow, I kept checking to see where he was and thought I had lost him a few times because I couldn't see him. He was walking so close behind me, I had to turn right round to see him and he was walking to heel quite a bit.
When he found a new bit to sniff, I just kept walking and he would come full pelt and sometimes run past but he would wait for me. He even got hold of something and I called him over and told him to leave it, he dropped it straight away, it was a mouse that looked like it had been dead a while yuk.
I was just chuffed to bits because he was a good boy. Don't know about doing that in the park yet though, because there are more people and dogs there. Barney is nearly 5 months old now.
We tried again today and he was so good again.
