My cute little puppy Jake turned 2 on July 13. It is a continual trial trying to get him trained. He is good most of the time, but being a little dog he tends to be a barker. So we got an E collar, and if he is wearing it, he will listen. If doesn't have it on, he knows...
The fact of the matter is, I don't know who is becoming better trained, me or the dog. When he wants out he barks at the door until you get up off your duff and let him out. When he wants dinner he stares you down until you serve up his meal. When he wants to play he brings his toy and hits your leg until you throw it. If I am not paying attention and on my phone, he will paw my leg until I notice him. Yep he is one smart doggie.
