Thanks AGAIN for the encouragement, everyone. Michelle, I love your idea for the leather jacket. I'm gonna check it out. And Annadoodle, Eddie has got to see pictures of your biker chick. Maybe I can photoshop them in the same frame and drop them on a Harley! Skipper Act, I can't offer much advice about obedience schools in other areas. I take him to Alyeska Canine Trainers because they're the only ones (I think) outside of Petco that offers them in the area. Plus, they're real visible in the community with demonstrations, etc. My initial criticism was I wished they had a small dog class, but I honestly don't know if that's necessarily a good thing or not. I want him to be socialized around all types of dogs, so maybe this is the way to go.

One thing I forgot to mention above. The 20 big dogs on Day 1 couldn't hang. The class has shrunk to about 7 dogs, so it's less intimidating.
