Sandie, yep there is a fence, in the pics you can see it! I'm not sure how the heck she dealt with him in his old home, because he needs a tie-out here! Maybe my mom and I are just PARANOID, but if this boy got out of the yard, he'd be as good as DEAD. He chases animals AND cars, he'd be under a tire in 10 seconds flat. He might get lucky if he followed someone home but who knows if someone would be walking by. It's also his prey-drive, and the fact that we didn't want him in the pool, which isn't needed, he's a girl and scared of water anyway Thank you for that post, makes a bunch of sense! I am referring to physical food treats though. If he comes I'll certainly give him praise and cuddles in the future once I weed out the treats. I figure if I do go to the dog park or somewhere fenced in I'll have treats anyway, so that works out.

LOL, yes they better come and check for sure! Dopes, they're all dopes!

Mikey needs alot of work, he's a bit of a problem dog (nusiance barker, steals stuff, humps...yeah you get it). But we've dealt with it this long, what can 12 more years do? I'm really trying to get him trained out of chasing cars, jumping on people, and whistle recall. Those are the KEY things I HAVE to work on and I want to get it down by April as I *might* be going out of state for an Internship (that's another thread, I'm very excited) and I don't want my family left with my problem and don't want to have to come back and start all over again.
