An angry toddler kept me from being able to post the blog last night but I wanted to update on Mattie's first experience with no leash on at all. She did very well. Her Heel got a bit sloppy and she tried to walk on the right side a couple times but when she was running around having fun her recall was excellent. She also accepted brand new boundaries quickly and without too much challenge.
Where she is still toiling is with Down. She lays down but would probably walk across hot coals to get to your feet rather than lay down where she is parked. Inside she is better so part of me thinks she is just too smart to lay down on the cold ground.
We still have things to practice but she is doing very well. Especially for a puppy her age.
