Today was the first evening of obedience classes. Actually, it was just an orientation, since the dogs weren't present. Our instructor seems nice enough and appears to have plenty of experience. In hearing the other "parents" talk it seems like the issues we have with Miles are pretty minor.
My only complaints about him are: 1) he pulls the leash constantly on walks 2) when he sits, he is always reaching out his paw 3) He has a tendency to jump up to greet people.
To prevent pulling the leash, the instructor recommended that we use the "gentle leader" harness. Miles did not complain when we put it on him, and it really improved his walking tonight. I think we have found a very quick fix for the walking problems.
The other two issues will hopefully be taken care of as we go through obedience training. I'm looking forward to classes starting next week.
