The fogline is his limit, typically along the shoulder in the grass.
I taught him street smarts when he was just a few months old.

There are many large groups of motorcycle riders that travel the road I live off of, they can be very loud.
You can't see the road from the house but you can hear the bikes and the dog was more than curious of it.

I started walking him out the driveway to the road and we'd sit down and watch the bikes go by. I scolded him of getting near the pavement, we'd sit 20ft back from the road.

When I started walking him down the side of the road on a leash, every time a car or motorbike would come he'd automatically sit down and watch them go by then continue walking.

So that's been his default method of interacting with vehicle's along a roadway ever since.

He's a 'no leash required' dog now. He responds instantly to all voice commands and some sign language I've been training him on.

NO, he doesn't wear spandex, but he wears one of these before sun up and after dark.
