Hey, Lorraine. Thanks for the advice. He's sortof always whined when I left, no matter where we're at. He's just sortof like that. I have read that it's because he may think that he's the alpha dog and that he's worried about his "kid". I know it's something I need to continuously work on, the whole alpha thing, but, sometimes, admittedly, I slack off. But, I'm getting back on track with it. Eating before him, never letting him out the door first, ignoring him if and when he jumps on me (which he rarely does, thank goodness). But, I got the treat bag and clicker back out today and as long as I work with him every day, I know he and I will get back in the swing of things. He's actually a very well behaved one year old labrador, so, I don't have a lot of complaints. Thanks again, Lorraine!
