A lot of those pet owners allow their dogs to go off leash. Some don't, as it is not an enclosed area. I would like to be able to because I think it would be easier for me and nice for my dog.
Thirdly, he is very good with voice commands. But he does sort of lose it when there is a squirrel in sight. He's never been off leash, so I am not sure how he would do with the commands in that situation.

Not sure if they have it in Ottawa or not but the SPCA here has an off leash class. It is an excellent deal. $80 for 8- 2 hour classes. My shiba failed but i think that was a given before we enrolled. Actually thinking back maybe it was me skipping out on the last 2 classes to watch the Flame-Wings playoff series. hehe
Huskies should definitely be more trainable than shibas. At least they seemed that way in 8 below. I never do this, but my wife sometimes lets her run off leash with the leash attached to her collar. That way if she bolts it's easier to catch her.
Any pics of your husky?
