[Jane Austen]

When I first had Duchess I thought I could walk her down the road off leash like the other dogs we had before her. I learned even in the front yard it is not a good idea because she is prone to darting out to the street for any thing that moves. Dogs. cats, squirrels.
Now I keep her on leash except on very quiet early morning potty breaks or down in the woods in the back of the house.
Brianna, you are very lucky to be able to have Ein obey your commands. I will caution you though not to be fooled into depending on her always being obedient. Especially if she is a Pembroke, Cardigans are apt to be a little more subdued.
Just my thoughts, for what its worth. June
