		<description><![CDATA[Mike started marking in the house two weeks before he was neutered. He marked everywhere. The living room, bedroom, bathroom, etc. He marked a lot of things such as the bedpost, the wall, the recliner, Lorna&#8217;s bathroom towel (that about got the boy killed). The weirdest thing he marked was Sam and Joella&#8217;s raised food-bowl [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve decided to drop out of the Basic Manners II class. Primarily because it requires more physical movement than I can do and I&#8217;m not sure I can keep up with the class in my chair. Instead, Mike and I will be taking private lessons from Gail, one of the instructors. I hope to take [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mike is doing great with training. There are only a few issues such as Loose Leash Walking but even that is getting better. We started Basic Manners II classes last week (then had to skip the second class last night). That class is going to be quite intensive. I&#8217;m going to have to do most [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We went a half hour early to get caught up on what we&#8217;d missed. They&#8217;d started working on LEAVE IT. I already do this with Mike due to his desire to eat anything that fits in his mouth. They&#8217;d also worked on PLACE/SPOT, which, again, Mike and I were already doing. But I liked how [...]]]></description>

We have to go to class 30 minutes early next week, though.

Tonight we worked on FOCUS, SIT, sustained SIT, and Loose Leash Walking. We also started on DOWN.

		<description><![CDATA[Mike and I (along with Lorna and Sam) went to our second Basic Manners class today. Technically, I guess you could say it was the first class since the dogs didn&#8217;t attend the original first class but we&#8217;ll not confuse me further and just call this one the second.
Anyway, it really felt as if a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, Mike went with me to Waffle House again. He didn&#8217;t go in, but stayed out in the truck. The objective was to get him out of the house and to show off his ears to the folks there. He chewed the two cell phone chargers in the truck, though. My fault. When I came [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We didn&#8217;t have it tonight. We left early to stop at a pet store and pick up some treat/bait bags. So we missed the phone call telling us class had been canceled. The training place has a policy of following the county school schedule in terms of snow days. Buncombe county didn&#8217;t have school today [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Per Elena&#8217;s suggestion, I&#8217;m going to teach Mike the concept of SPOT. I decided to not use the word PLACE since it sounds so much like WAIT and STAY. We&#8217;ve not started working on this yet.
The following is all mind wandering thoughts as I work through this new command/cue/whatever.
To teach something using operant conditioning (aka [...]]]></description>
