Excuse my awful play on words Wink

I'm buzzing from this afternoons walk, first time I have braved an offlead Dexter minus the ball and in a place where lots of other dogs just pop up like a canine panto Laughing

But I figured I can't keep being wary, he's very obedient lets give it a whirl. He was bolting around the park with Ellie having a fabulous runabout with me keeping a close eye and staying near when a lab and a spaniel came bolting over. Owner(s) invisible. Things seemed calm enough but I called him to see and he instantly sped over and sat down to have his lead clipped on. The owner (old chap) came ambling up and the dogs all said hello again then had another offlead run!

Very good for a first go, think it helped that I forced myself to stay calm (I did feel anything but deep down) in my voice and I felt like he would come back. Hope this continues!

Wonderful to hear- well done both of you! Smile And minus ball Big Grin
Betsy has been on a week long ball ban thanks to the good advice here and I'm practicising/pretending the calm/leap of faith approach too nail biting
