amazement! in a daring act of recklessness i let sam off the lead after a long break. and yay, all that reading about recall training and the actual training process seems to have worked (knock bones!). or at the very least, sam decided to cooperate last night, and did the right thing when called: turned towards me, looked happy, and bounded up. he even sat and took his treat.
i'm not pushing my luck -- the area was small and fairly secure, and he hadn't had the time to go completely "wild" as he does sometimes. it also remains to be seen if he'll be as good next time. still, i think sam and i have made a good start.
