I don't think its pointless at all! I would love it if my girls had some recall. That would be awesome. Unfortunately mine are very bad about it. We were taking our walk last night and I was trying to work with Tori a bit and I needed to adjust her collar and when I was messing with it she slipped out . Tori is a runner and has no recall at all. I was frantic and near tears. Luckily I was able to catch her after about 30 minuntes.

Keep up the great work with Spike!
