9 months of training has paid off (Thank God!)

Good girl Sunny! This reminds me of a cousin's new puppy. She had mastered "sit" but not "come" - when she took off after a bug or something, we started to run after her, and her owner yelled "Sit!" and it was just about the funniest thing you'd ever seen. She was still running, but just with her front paws and her bottom dragging on the ground in her "sit" position. Thankfully it slowed her down enough so I was able to catch up with her and step on her leash to catch her - but I think we were all laughing too hard to scold her!

That sounds priceless!!

Good girl, Sunny!!! I will tell Ginger your story, I am sure she will be very proud of you too, sweetie. Sounds like Miss Sunny is ready for a little bit more freedom on her walks.

She does great when we take her on hiking trails and at the park, she can walk ahead of us and turns back to "check on us" and comes as soon as we call her but those places are safe for her to run "off" leash (leash is attached in case we need to grab it). It's great to know she will sit and stay if I yell but I don't think I'll be testing that again any time soon (No more leash dropping where cars could be)
