Off Leash Baby-Training

Henry is now 2 years old and he is very active. He enjoys running, climbing, and is curious about the physical world around him. I love this about him and we both would prefer if he could be out of the stroller as much as possible.

For him to enjoy running around, however, he has to listen to restrictions on his behaviour. I need him to have an 'emergency stop', come back to me, and look at me so I can show him stuff he might be interested in. Its also nice if he follows me so we can walk places together. Its fun to look at rocks and throw them in a drain, but only for so long...

I know it sounds like dog training (come, look, heel, stay) but commands like this are helpful for communicating instruction from either species. I'm hoping to share some "baby training" on instructions like these in upcoming posts.
