More on Jack

Jack is now 10 weeks old and still remarkably resistant to the no chew rule. My arms are decorated with tiny puncture marks, rather like a junkie who shoots up any old place on his arm. Yesterday he was sitting next to me on the couch and he crawled into my lap and began to lick my chin." How sweet", I thought to myself." He's learning to be gentle". That was three seconds before he launched himself at my nose. Not too much damage from that, just one nice big puncture that kind of looks like a giant zit on the end of my nose. My reading glasses are not safe either. Being a woman of a certain age I keep reading glasses all over the house. Now I have four pair of them all with the temple pieces chewed in half.  He has also begun to train me to give treats on command. I had tried to get him to pay attention by offering him a treat if he sat and looked at me. Only needed a handful of times and he got it. Now when he needs a treat he comes to me, sits in front of me and tilts his head to the side cutely while wagging his tail. How can I resist that!
His leash skills have not improved either. Ten weeks old and 25 pounds and he's still strong enough to drag me down the drive way! Pretty embarrassing when you consider that I trained and showed dogs in obedience competition at dog shows for years, though now that I think of it, a few of those dogs trained me a bit too. Perhaps I'll tell you sometime about my husky, Kiya and her rough road to her obedience title.
