Yes, I know, which is what will make it more of a chalenge. I have never trained a dog before, and I think it will be a great experience for me. Oh yes, I know all about grooming requirements. My 1st grade teacher once told my mother about her old Scottish Terrier (I had been carrying around a Scottie stuffed animal in class, and she said it reminded her of her old dog [I think that stuffed animal is still in the attic somewhere, it is what made me come to love the breed]) and she said that they do nip and nibble a lot.
