It’s amazing how fast Brody picks things up.  He is a smart one, watching humans and big brother Jake.  “Do you want a treat?” the words don’t escape his attention.  He excitedly follows Jake and me over to the box of biscuits in the pantry.  Brody sprints over to me when I excitedly inquire, “Do you want to go for a walk?” and then waits patiently while I put on his harness.

Once outside Brody has trouble distinguishing friend from foe.  He barks at garbage cans, other dogs, and pedestrians who simply stop to admire him.  We still have a lot of work to do.  At least he’s starting to figure out why we are taking him outside so frequently.  Most of the time he complies by doing his buisness.
