B. is a “red” Golden Retriever, which I’m told is the ‘field’ variety and tends to be more energetic.
After two & 1/2 years he is still resistant to leash training, bordering on the uncontrollable when he gets a notion.
So I was nervous about letting him off-leash. But I found a pretty safe place and was pleasantly surprised at the outcome.
Our close bonding has made all the difference!
