Roxie is SO close to being completely off-leash with her remote collar. All of her play time and exercise walks she enjoys the freedom of her remote collar. For her formal obedience workouts she is on a 30' leash to give her mistake making potential without letting her give up and scoot back to her kennel if she gets confused. Her confidence is growing that she knows the right answers but she still gets overwhelmed every so often and tries to get out of work by going to her room, so to speak. The 30' line lets her make that mistake but it also lets her fix it herself by coming back and completing the task instead of letting her go off and do what she wants. I plan to ween her off the 30' line over the next day or so because she is really making strides in her confidence.
She has stayed on her mat for about 2 hours with only occasional reminders if she forgets what she is doing and in the house she has generally gotten much more polite. Her owner will be pleased to know that not only has she been nice to the kitty, Roxie has been wholly uninterested in her after her initial sniff and greet. This cutie pie is learning fast is such a love sponge.
