Howie Update

Since so many have asked, it was time to update you on Howie and his behavior :-) Howie is doing better, not perfect, but better. Many of you have asked and his problems were mostly related to territory issues (in addition to some barking, plucking and begging issues) and not with Layla at all. Howie has fortunately been very good with Layla but not so good with anyone on our lawn...

Anyway, the lessons were very helpful and were more about training myself and Ryan than training Howie, but I feel like we better know how to deal with this very spirited dog of ours. He is done with his private training sessions and we are looking for a beginning agility class in the area to enroll him in. Any ideas from local people?

As you can see above, Layla enjoys Mr. Howie and her new thing is that she loves to help me "make" his food. She brings me the bowl, pours his food in, puts the bowl back and then finds Howie and waves him to his food. It is SO funny to watch!!
