High quads, high MS, high CP, I have trained with amazing people who received working dogs. How to hold a leash, to how to toilet and pick up the poop in public is another. Everyone loves my dog but only a small percentage can in reality of a usual day care for the dog's needs. Even the best trained dogs must be on a leash. I see the best of dogs run after a cat, or worse interfere with my dog. These precious animals are still dogs and no amount of training can guarantee safety while off leash.

Eric, Do you have any movement below your neck? I would love to have a dog, but I really don't have a way to walk it when I am alone. Just curious.

How did you all get your dogs? I found one program but it takes 4 or 5 years and have to go stay in a hotel in Baltimor for a week for the training. That is not possible for me but could really use a dog. Stacy -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.
