We are so proud of our first-born, Toby, who recently graduated from obedience school. Toby has had a rough few months: he fell getting into the truck and ruptured his bladder, leading to emergency surgery, and then was put through his paces and told he was not, in fact, the alpha in our house. Yes, the yard is ours, the stairs are ours, the door is ours, and YOU are the dog.
Really, he is a good boy who just needs a little fine tuning. He now heels like a champ, sitting at the end, stays about 85% of the time, comes about 60% of the time, and still has a lot of work to do on down. The overall desired outcomes in working with Toby: (1) that he will walk nicely next to the stroller; (2) that he will stay seated for the Christmas picture; and (3) that he won't even think of marking the baby.
