[nagdu] Dogs and instructors

[Sarah]

I was told to allow the dog freedom to one room at a time and 
depending on how he is, I may not have to keep him on tie-down 
for 6 months.

I've always been told to keep the dog on leash or tiedown at all 
times
for 8 weeks and then begin allowing freedom 1 room at a time 
until you
can trust the dog.

 Well, maybe I am misunderstanding something here, but when I 
have received
 my dogs, I was told to keep them on leash full time for two 
weks; then I can
 begin letting them off.  I usually have them pretty much off in 
the house by
 three weeks to a month depending on their reaction.  I always 
tie them at
 night.  So this is the first time I have heard of students at 
the schools
 being told to keep dogs on leash or tie down six months to a 
year.  I was
 never told that.
