Can I have ONE velcro dog? Please...

and so it goes, yesterday Leo had decent off leash class, kept heeling with me nicely... then he went deaf- I have no other explanation, was put in a sit and then did not release... kept sitting.... and sitting... and sitting

 Doug got it on camera so might be able to post.

 Now what happen after... we had our usual agility foundation class and Mr Leo went wild- complete zoomies, running, not coming, it took several people to catch little monkey... of course Leo has big shoes to fill following Che but  I really do not like road they both going... can I have a velcro dog please?

Is Che a dog that walks by himself?

I think yes, that is what Che would love to be. He is great dog but at times he is hard to manage, he won't go into crate, will stop at walks, will pull after furry rats. As a result, he is not likely to be family pet that is easy to live with.

 I think I 've mismanaged "positive is not permissive " ...Che was allowed to countersurf, refuse this or that, those Dont Wanna Dont Hafta moments are all over his life.

 Che would clearly benefit from less permissive but still very positive attitude taken by everyone in the house. We just have to work thorough DWDH episodes to let him know that yes, he has to do what he is told. Just as Miss Universe that sill lives in our house, he is to have freedom but freedom has rules to follow and has to be earned.
