Abel is growing like a weed. He must be close between 40-50 pounds right now. For the most part he is a good dog. The things we need to work on include:
* Heeling.
* Not moochin.
* Not jumping up when he gets excited.
* Not piddling when he gets excited to see the neighbour or my sister.
* Not to steel socks!!
Well now he doesn't sound so good but he really is!!! I am planning to take him to obediance classes soon. Has anyone ever been? Will they help with heeling and mooching? I don't know why these habits are popping up now. I worked on these with him from day one.
Otherwise he is smart. He learned how to lay down the other day very quickly. Now whenever he sees a treat he automatically sits, flaps his paw around in the air (to shake eagerly), then will lay down. Goofy dog.
As for the piddling I did research and most sites say it is out of submissive behaviour. I really don't think this is the case with him. I think it is just out of excitement. My sister and neighbour love Abel and show their excitement when they see him. Abel just goes happy nuts cause he loves them too. I guess I will just have to get them to ignore him for the first while.
