I keep her on the lease only until she's away from trafficked areas, or where leashing is mandatory. Otherwise, she's off the leash and running ahead, sniffing, rooting for gophers and meeting other dogs. She always looks back periodically, to check my location, and if I'm out of sight, will run back to me. Then the whole process starts over again. She's under voice command, but I seldom use it, unless her actions place her in a potentially dangerous situation. Her sisters are funny that way, too. One sibling has been trained to always heel, and despite my best efforts to 'shoo' her up front with her sisters, she prefers to remain by my side. But I like to think she's also enjoying the walk.Sterling Hadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15114988651949870474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517697125324333905.post-14903281830668345992011-11-02T07:41:08.628-07:002011-11-02T07:41:08.628-07:00I can take my pack for a walk all off leash and th...I can take my pack for a walk all off leash and they do "follow" me any where I go. Like you said, they may be in front of me, but if I turn to go in another direction or down a different trail within a minute or two they are all right with me once again. I am their leaded but not a forceful leader.pudelcrazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15245009982225175817noreply@blogger.com
