I've been nervous to let this boy off the lead for a while. His Dad is pushing for it as he wants his dog to learn to socialise better. His mum was really anxious about his recall. I felt a bit caught in the middle! Today I went with quiet dogs and just dropped the lead so I could grab if needed. He was really good and didn't stray too far from me but he didn't really have too many distractions today. 

I managed to long rein and lunge Indy today. Initially it felt like he'd gone backwards after a bit of a break due to the weather etc but he soon settled down to work and we had a great session, enough so that I got on board.
