I walk Jasper off leash, with safety in mind. If there is a lot of traffic, I tend to leash him. for pottying, he is never leashed, and walks along with me on the sidewalk, up and down the street. I get comments all the time, and questions as to where he and I trained. We didnt, and I didnt. Its just his nature, I suppose. He comes, stays, sits, downs...all with next to no training. If only I could train him, "no lick". Lol.
