Sure :) But just for the record, Cassie does indeed return to me when she can't see me, she responds 100% to the whistle -- but I don't use it...
No, I wouldn't necessarily say so. I forgot to mention that I also find it useful in distracting situations, like yesterday when she wanted to...
Oh yes, for sure. It's not unusual to have a bit of regression in toilet training. Sounds like you had a great day at the park, brilliant.
Hi @shawnlinus , like many others I have this problem with Cassie too. Although I have considered a muzzle I haven't actually done so so cannot...
Sure. I find it useful if she's gone to far ahead or further away than I want her to be to stand still, or turn and walk in the opposite...

Hi @Beezette, you have my sympathy too, my young Lab, who is 2 yrs 3months is very much like that, although becoming less so as she matures. But...

Oh @Melissa Kerns how simply dreadful for you, how shocking, you must be utterly devastated, my heart goes out to you, it really does. I'm so sorry.
