I would agree with Nick here. However, I NEVER have my dog on a leash, but she's really exceptionally smart, and will listen to and obey my voice commands. It's illegal here (recently passed law), but the local po-po's know us and leave us alone. She's seen the leash maybe 12 times in her 4 years. I even can walk downtown, no leash, and keep her from attacking the pigeons, which, if you knew her, is a real feat. She also, somehow, knows to stop and wait for my command before she'll cross any street or step off the sidewalk on to a road. I never taught her that, she just picked it up herself somehow.
It takes a LOT of work to get to that point, but it's so worth it to know you don't have to worry. Nick McClure wrote: > NEVER! > > They are still dogs.
