Plus he's extremely interested in small animals, if he saw a rabbit or something (which there was a ton of) he'd totally take off after it. He's quite independent, I know we have a bond and he loves me but he's not a "velcro dog." He knows the "come" command and I use it often at home in the yard but I think the selective hearing would come into play if he was chasing a critter.
Amy, that sounds like my Bob - except for the husky part of course - he is never off-leash either.
