We've been watching "the Dog Whisperer" (and when you say that, you have to use Cesaer's accent) and we're trying to pick up tips for Elway. Elway is a wonderful dog, but we have trouble on walks, which we weren't too concerned about because he is a puppy. However, we realized we need to get control of him now before he's impossible. So this was our fourth walk with him using our new knowledge and techniques. The first walk was frustrating and almost angering. The second was a little better, but not much. The third was still improving, but still not there.

Tonight's walk- fantastic! We took a 45 minute stroll and it was really very nice. He pulled a little every now and then, but still did pretty good. Jeff and I bundled up because it's been freakin' freezing lately, we stepped outside and it's gorgeous. By the end of our walk we were a little warm!

So for now on, if you come over our to our house, you need to be calm, and the dog needs to be calm before you pet him. Also, he's not allowed on the couch if you're on it, unless you invite him on. We're trying not to make him hyper and crazy!
