Back to the Basics

So for the past few months I've felt as though "something needs to be done" about Hank's behaviors. Walks with him have become frustrating and embarrassing by the excess amount of pulling and general "bad behaviors". Well where we live in combination with my non-traditional work schedule (I work M-Th until 8pm...but it's about 45min from home) didn't leave many options for training classes.

But I also wasn't confident that group classes would be the best thing for us as Hank goes bazerk when he's around new dogs. He doesn't "attack" them by any means, but rather gets soooo excited that he can't stop from barreling into them and forcing them to play with him...(insert eye roll here). Well lets just say not every dog appreciates his enthusiasm for them.

Well after a week of Internet searching I found a trainer in our area and after discussing our situation it was decided that individual training sessions would be the best place to start in order to assess where we should go with training.

So although some people might not think it's necessary...hubs and I do and that's all that matters. I am really excited to see what happens in these coming weeks :)

Here are some recent pics of my happy puppy that I just couldn't resist posting:
