For those of you who are not current on my situation with Drake, here is a brief update. Yesterday was our second session of our "refresher" obedience course with the trainer. He said that I am doing alot better (most of the problem was with me being to easy on the dog) and that Drake was starting to do better as well. There was another dog with us at training yesterday who had a common problem with Drake: Very Jealous and upset if his owner played or touched another dog. We did some "exercises" together and worked on heling the two dogs handle us playing with the other dog. We both had to be assertive with our own pups and at the end of the hour, Drake was alot better. He was fine with me playing withe Sassy.

After we got home, Drake and his buddies played in our yard and for the first time, I got to play with them all. Drake was OK! That was so encouraging.
