Be sure to reinforce positive, that means when he licks youtime the goood exactly when he licks
keep at it, this is gonna take a bit to fix.

hahahaa.. my sister and i tried the howling tonight with fumble!  he thought it was another play trick and just attacked the backs of my legs instead!!  :)  he's also after my shoes now too!  i've tried hiding them everywhere, but gotta love a puppy that's smarter than the average bear!  ;) i've enrolled him in a puppy kindergarten that starts tomorrow! i'm hoping the socialization will help!
