My black lab, Shadow, listens to my every command. I can take her anywhere without a leash and she stays right by my side. She loves car rides, sits in the front seat, window rolled all the way down. I trained her well since I was the one always home with her and spent the most time with her. She is very protective of me. She is fine with women, but if a man comes near, she is right there, making a low growling sound.
