Hi Jen,
This is extremely normal behavior for some chis. Two of my chis
follow me everywhere I go in the house, yes they are very underfoot but
I really don't mind. Thats the beauty of owning these lovely animals,
they are so loving and caring. I really don't see the point of putting
this young Chi through any training class.. what do you hope to
accomplish? The way I see it, you have a perfectly normal loving pet!
Be happy!
