Negative on the deaf, slightest sound outside and he's at the door raising heck! I'm starting to think "dumb" is unfair, just doesn't seem to have ever had any fair and consistent discipline. He's starting to understand me and my 'commands' a bit. He knows I won't hurt him, but knows I'm serious when I say 'NO'. If he'll just stop scaring the bejesuus out of the cat we'll be OK. ;-)
