Hi thank you very much for this. I will look into some training, if Ricky will allow a trainer to get near them. Ricky is smart... very smart, to darn smart at times!! I have taught him to sit in a matter of mins. The lay down is a problem so far. He knows how to stay which is important. Not sure if he would stay if outside and a dog came by. ya, a training class might be great for Ricky AND ME!!

Frida and I restarted obedience training yesterday. I would HIGHLY recommend everyone taking classes. Ricky would be a great candidate for some classes. I learned so much from training. I work with Frida on heeling during walks. She walks beside or slightly behind me. It has helped with her diva attitude. Also, my trainer has 2 chi's and she warned me about not carrying Frida too much. She said height denotes superiority in the dog kingdom. I carry Frida but not above my breast bone. I carry her in the crook of my arm now. Ricky might really respond to training in a class. It has been the single best thing I've done for Frida and I. Rylee and Frida
