		<description><![CDATA[Mike and I have been slowly training. He has some issues but none would prevent him from being a Service Dog. For example, let&#8217;s look at how Mike perceives the concept of SIT. Most dogs, in learning SIT, are like bouncing balls. SIT means butt hits floor then bounces back up real fast. Not Mike.

My broken leg took forever to heal and now winter has decided to enter with a bang (see links below). We constructed a [...]]]></description>

He hurt his leg then Joella needed surgery on one of hers, and now I&#8217;ve broken one of my own! Will the fun never end? At any rate, we are working with Mike on stopping his [...]]]></description>

		<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>

Joella is having some difficulty with her back legs and Tuesday (April 21st) she will be having surgery on one of her ankles. Since Joella [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is a harsh reality but it is something that is necessary, and, for some dogs, it is vital. The Nothing in Life Is Free (NILIF) principal is simple: the dog gets nothing without first doing something to earn it. Some dog trainers say that toys should never be left laying around. That they should [...]]]></description>

So they teach you some phrases so they can interact with you on a very basic level. Now, let&#8217;s say there&#8217;s a French word for something important that sounds an awful lot like something else important in French. [...]]]></description>

So what we will work on is &#8220;Where&#8217;s your tail?&#8221; Basically, it is getting him to go in a circle. He&#8217;ll do this already. I need to fine tune it [...]]]></description>
