Thank you for your suggestions Karen.
While obedience training might be the best thing for the two of us to experience, at this time it's just not economically feasible. In the last year & 1/2 I was unemployed more than employed & my bills are outrageous... I hope to be on my feet soon, but that seems to be slow in coming.
Maybe I'll look for a book or DVD to help me... I like the suggestions about ignoring the boy & giving him a treat for sitting still... I'll give those a try. Silly me, I keep forgetting that treats are a good way to train a pooch.
