Sawyer might be figuring out who's boss. :) Knock on wood.
We took him to a dog trainer last weekend and realized all the silly mistakes we were making and, one week later, he's really behaving a lot better. And I tend to catch him like this - still and peaceful - a little bit more often. He's starting to understand that we won't play with him if he misbehaves.
We'll go back next weekend for one more session and I'm looking forward to it. I'm really enjoying him more and I think he's happier, too.
Although he doesn't know that he only has one month left until he can get some......uh.......ahem......little male bits removed. He probably wouldn't be happy if he knew that we had scheduled that. LOL!
