Ollie was trained to run off leash -- meaning a 20 ft. leash would be attached to his collar and he would run, but Scott could still step on the leash if he needed to. Well, this hasn't exactly been working out with him running in the wood...s and getting the leash tangled so Scott decided to try him without a leash at all. Ollie ran and romped through the woods this morning enjoying himself and then, when he started to approach the road, Scott said "treat" - the magic word - and Ollie ran right to him with his tail wagging. It is so great to watch an animal run free and see the joy he gets from it. I never thought it was possible without putting him in harms way until Ollie had training sessions. He's a happy dog, and, if he would just stop eating socks, paper towels, shredding newspapers/magazines, and chewing on Scott's leather recliner, he'd be darn near perfect. It's a good thing the recliner is old and needs to be replaced once Ollie stops chewing on everything not nailed down or suspended from the ceilings. I can't believe we've had this scamp for ten months. He turned one on March 28th and this is his birthday photo ... not exactly the small dog we were told he'd be. We must have gotten the giant of the litter.
