Lesson #3: Go for a Walk
Today's lesson was conducted outdoors. Alfred taught how I should hold the leash to control Uno during the walk. We walked round the swimming pool several times and he obeyed all instructions. A huge dog cookie for you, Uno!

Lesson #2: Down
Today's lesson was really tough on Uno...he was taught 'Down' command, but he refused to co-operate. And the consequence of being stubborn and wilful was being reprimanded repeatedly. My heart almost broke when he choked after Alfred pulled the choker chain. After several tries, my prayers were answered when he finally followed Alfred's instructions to lie on his side.
When I took over to practise with him, Uno was so co-operative. Was he being respectful to me as his owner or was he just defying Alfred? He must be thinking: "Who on earth is this monster doing in my house, telling me to do things that even my owner doesn't tell to?"
