I appreciate all of the advice. I think our first step will be to enroll in an obedience school. There is an excellent one near here that is a bit pricey, but from what I hear worth the money. By the way, I have never once indicated that I did not intend to invest the time/effort toward my dog. I like these forums and the advice you can find, but I do not like that every time I come here with a question at least one person acts like I am not willing to do what it takes to train my pet. If I did not intend to train him well and keep him around, I would not ask for advice. To those of you who sincerely gave advice, thank you. To those of you who seem to be a bit abrasive, please reconsider your approach to advice giving. My husband hates me coming onto this forum for advice because someone upsets me every time by indicating that I am not capable or willing to learn how to handle my dog.
