Gotta train that speed recall from shorter distances so they know when to slow down & then increase the distance..... says she who, a couple of years ago, had 2 dogs together, out on the field, recalled from 1 1/2 acres away, take her out. SPLAT!! But, thankfully, nothing broken but my pride. The kids on the side of the field, that were watching, had quite a good laugh. That was the last time I used a trained 'heir' recall command casually...it just kinda slipped out by mistake. Now I pay more attention to what commands I give, especially when I have both dogs out on the field together. We do learn by our mistakes. Sometimes the hard way. MY DOGS...MY RULES

JMO I wouldn't be running with him at 7 months yet anyway still developing. Maybe someone else can comment on that. Good luck.

That should cause the dog to slow down a bit. Mark and reward for the slow down and don't worry about a front for now. You can work on the front from close till the slow down sinks in. Don't put them together until both are clear to the dog. the dog will probably speed up some again when you add distance. Be patient! old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks
