Thanks for asking Chuck...

The boy is still at school about to finish his second month. He used him in a demonstration at a huge game cookout a couple weekends ago where he showed what dogs he'd trained 1 month, 1 year, 4 yrs and 8 yrs could do. My dog was the 1 monther and he did excellent. I hid to the back of the crowd and pup had no idea I was there. He brought him out and demonstrated basic obedience and a few hand signals then he called out and asked if I would step forward. I did and Scout broke and came charging to me. He's never done it before but he was pissing like a fountain while he rolled around on the ground with me. I mean he was excited...The trainer let us have a minute or two and I stood back up and he laid on top of my feet and in between my legs and just in general got as close as he could... Then the trainer gave two blasts on his whistle and said his name and Scout jumped up and ran right back and sat at heel with him. Trainer looked at the crowd and said "Folks, that dog just did the absolute last thing on Earth he wanted to do. That's training". It made quite an impression.

I see him a couple times a week. The trainer does not need a right hook...he has some connection. I'm afraid he is going to try to buy the dog from me before this is over. I won't sell of course, but that's where it's headed.
