Golden retriever “Sandy” passing one of his learning benchmarks, which is a 50-step loose leash walk without “help” or treats. 50 steps is quite a long way, almost a full city block and unarguably hard for an excited young Golden. We are in the process of switching over training logs from a time-based log to a benchmark-based one!  I think it’s going to really improve everybody’s learning and skills! It’s very slowly rolling out.
