OMGzz... this picture says a million words of how he feels about his new home. I'm so proud of you guys, Maggie and Sadie too! This really made my day, it's such a nice success story about how good any pup can be with the right love and training.

Grant is SO handsome! If I lived anywhere near Florida I would be harassing you guys constantly about meeting the little man he is one of the cutest ACD's I've ever seen!! His facial markings are adorable, and he's soooo cute and stocky xD... *steals*. Great job with Grant-y, I can't wait to see more pics of him and his sisters playing, I'm sure they'll only love eachother more and more every day

hrm... I also see him with that ball. I think we have a future Flyball/Agility dog!!! ... oh and, for the chewing, bitter apple or tabasco sauce and screeching when the behavior starts should help fix that. Teach him bite inhibition by holding treats between your fingers with only a little bit of the treat sticking out... he can gently lick or chew on only the treat, if he nips your fingers you screech and the treat goes away and doesn't come back for a few minutes. That helped Gonzo a LOT! Herding pups are generally super-sensitive and just want to make you happy also, once he gets good at that, playing tug with ropes and plushies and every once in a while sliding your hand near his mouth will help with bite inhibition. you probably already know this.... just tips ^.^. I'm really happy with all that you've done for this boy! oh yeah...


WELCOME TO PET TALK, GRANT!!!
