I really should have started training when I got back I guess. It's taking a lot of work, so I'm worried about the 2 week break. I wish I could just take him with me. Regardless of how you guys are with him, I'm sure there will be a significant amount of re-training I'll have to do when I get back. Sigh.

I love seeing his picture on your blog. You will have to coach me on how not to "untrain" him when I come next week. I like to get him riled up, but not if it will cause him to start nipping at Isla. He is stubborn and cute. He knows he is cute and thinks he can wrap you around his paw. I miss Turk. I love seeing his picture on your blog.
