reopens and things are safe...but this is exactly as I feared he will act!

One of the tasks in the final exam was to have the dog sit, then walk away holding the leash. The dog is supposed to sit at attention for one full minute.

Well, this was outside on a warm summer day on a nice grassy lawn. The moment I walked away, he got into "down" position then flopped over on his side.

Lost 30 points on the final exam for that.

He’s mixed with American bulldog and is totally into pulling.

Took me four weeks to get him to leap up on a bench. Took two more weeks to get him to do his puppy exercises on it (sit. Down. Stand. Down. Sit. Down. Stand. Off. Up.)

Running him thru a tunnel would be a no go. He would drag it.

Best he can do is close the back door for us. He’s got that down solid.
