Now here's a question for all. At what age did your dogs develop
a rock-solid (or even pretty solid) recall, or response to other
commands, especially in the face of distraction, and how much
effort did you put into developing that?

Please, allow me to "bloviate" a bit more.

First, rock-solid recalls (and the immediate and correct response to
commands) are directly related to how much time and effort a dog's
owner is willing to devote to training, including training with
distractions. And how often everything is reinforced.

And second, how effective the training techniques employed are.

It's really not a matter of the dog's age.

And the amount of effort only matters if the technique being used is
any good at achieving rock-solid recalls and immediate responses to
commands.

For example, I would wager a large sum of money that Leah's dog
*still* has a lousy recall, *still* pulls on its leash, and *still*
gives Leah the flying fickle finger of fate at every opportunity.

"In short, American policies were driven by public opinion while British ones were shaped by elite
preferences. As a result, victim surveys show that by the late 1990s the British robbery rate was
one-quarter higher and the burglary and assault rates twice as high as those in this country".
