Barney 1st time off lead
by TonyW Tue Apr 08 2014, 23:31
Took Barney to the Park today and let him off lead for the first time. I couldn't believe how well behaved he was.
His recall was absolutely spot on 100% of the time. Even when there were other people\dog potential distractions he responded and recalled. He met other off lead dogs, stopped in his tracks when I said "no" as he walked towards a Dog on a lead (Dog was within 10 Yards) and returned straight away when recalled. Amazing.
I am under no illusions that this will continue and that problems will start when his confidence builds (although his confidence appeared fine enough to steal my friends Stafford's Ball and run around playing chase) but for the moment I am thrilled!
Can't believe I forgot my Phone and could not take Pics.

Well done Barney! I think Bane could do with a few lessons from Barney, he is still useless!
