He's only 10 months old. His instructor normally won't take any dogs younger than a year, but he checked out Mick's pedigree, and started him at 6 months. So far the commands he knows are "get out," "lie down," "walk up" and "that'll do." Soon we can start him on "come by" and "away to me."

The best part is, Mick was a rescue dog. His original owners gave him up at 5 months, because he ran around and chewed on things. He can be nuts, but he's actually a good dog. In the last few days, he's decided that he's in love with the cat. He'll just lie there and lick the cat's face/chest until the cat gets pissed off. Hopefully, he won't start humping the cat.
