Oh - the neighbors already think I'm nuts, so I won't bother going somewhere else to do it! They watched me teaching jake to walk on a loose lead. I did it the way they teach in the book "Good Owners, Great Dogs" - where you keep constantly changing direction and bumping into the dog until the dog decides you're a complete moron and he'd better keep you in his peripheral vision because you're so unpredictable. It worked, though - it took less than an hour to get Jake trained!

I'm going to try it with Max soon. He's just so big and fast, I had to wait to try it until I got my Gentle Leader (or whatever it's called).
