Jerry: Just a little note letting you know how Sophie is doing.
We go to the trail at the old Hawke Lake GC and I take her off the leash for the entire almost two hours we are there. I put the remote training collar on just to be safe, but have never had to use it. She responds to a dog whistle I bought plus voice commands to “come.” Since we have been doing this, she is a different dog and has become a real companion for me.
