Lily watches her like a hawk and won't even eat out of her own dish now. I have to fool her and put her food in Katie's bowl first. Do you have a friend with a dog that shakes? Pair them up. I thought Lily was walking great until I tried without Katie. She sucked! It took another week to really get her to walk on her own although she does like to hang on to the leash. Good luck.

Scooter only has 2 doggy friends right now... and they don't know tricks, they are just potty trained

Maybe it would be good to try out the second level of obedience classes so he can watch other dogs do it?
