Thanks for the reply oldhounddog. He is our family dog and I do have a three year old that thinks he is his wrestling buddy, so training has been pretty rough. We have had him since 8 weeks and the only traing we have done is potty trainig, sit and stay,and come. When I want him to come he is very inconsistent. Other than that not much. We do have a large fenced yard and if it is not a hot day he spends his time in the back yard and in the house. When we are home on the weekends he is inside with us and usually will go with us on drives and short trips. He sleeps in a kennel and also when we are not home he is in his kennel. If we leave him out he will chew up everything. As for as time for training I work nights so in the morning after I get the kids to school my time is limited because I need to be in bed to get some sleep before having to pick the kids up. Long story short, never enough time in a day. Thanks for your help.

Thanks again for the help. As far as training he does most of this with exception of down. He does great in the house but oitside is a different story. He will sit and release when playing fetch and feeding. As far as food and treats we are in the process of switching from purina puppy to dog chow. Treats he just gets pieces of milk bone when we do training. I have been working on the come comand with g?ood sucess over tue weekend. Still need work. We went to the farm over the weekend and I let him run and he did great without running off. I use just a standard collar with a shirt 3-4 ft leash.
