Where we camped this time was an island (23-acre with 4 camp sites). So, we decided to let Kaiju off leash during the morning hours when we walked to and from places on the trails. He did well! Towards the end of afternoon, we were more hesitant to do it because we did not want to have to look for him in the dark, if he decided to completely ditch us. Even still, he was not going to swim away or anything, so our hesitation was nothing other than us being worrywarts.

As soon as Kaiju was off-leash, he acted very differently. He was more stubborn in his insistence to go towards the direction of his choice. He, nevertheless, stuck with us mostly and happily.
