·That's wonderful, Patti!
I think Val is probably right that you've stumbled on your answer for Grimm. Sometimes when we encounter a serious issue with our dogs we unconsciously gird ourselves up when the likelihood of its reoccurrence is at hand. Dogs, of course, sense this and they do what they do because you expect it. Taking Grimm issue to someone else's hands for the moment has apparently defused this. So yes, now he's understanding other dogs off leash. You should let him get comfortable with that and then start with the on leash work again.
