Yes we are. My daughter is not as keen to let her off the lead because of past problems so will often use the training lead as reassurrance. Trust me - she did not come close enough to find out if i was angry today
and i kept my voice light and was dancing around like an idiot waving my arms to try to make it fun for her to come back (as I have been advised on this forum). My father in-law praised her when she came back to him so she did not get told off but i must admit inside i felt like it was reward for her bad behaviour
