I have to agree fully.
I have been blessed taht my previous boy was an ANGEL in general, including off-lead.
My new baby is 7 months now and to date has brilliant recall. I hope we survive the teenage phase as NOTHING can replace the freedom of a dog running around no leash no nothing, playing on its own or with other dogs, or just running in crazy circles, sniffing where she wants etc etc. I am happiest when i see my dog running around free and I am lucky to eb bale to give this to her 2x a day, in addition to 2 on lead walks.
