I've been taking her and working with a trainer on obedience/agility and she is now obedient off leash. She will run and play a bit, but she does listen (especially now that I've learned to communicate better with her and she thinks it's more fun to play with me than to do her own thing). I finally have a good recall on her (which I never had before working with the trainer...she was able to point out the things that I was doing wrong and ways to make Belle listen more closely to me).

She will walk up the road with me, but we've yet to see a car with her off leash...I am pretty nervous to try off-leash and on-road together. But she does sit off the road behind me without a command if she hears a car coming and she's on-leash. In the backyard she's just as much fun as can be...we play frisbee and work on obedience off leash now. I think a lot also has to do with the fact that she's now 2-1/2 years old and has gotten over some of her puppy/adolescent stubbornness. Be patient and good luck!
