Chasing Rabbits and dreaming of chasing Rabbits. He doesn't stand a chance in catching one though. Dislikes
Raw carrots, likes them stewed though. Arni's Story & Details
We've had him since he was 15 weeks and have moulded him into exactly the dog we wanted. I've read all of cesar Milans books to give me an understanding of behaviour and it has paid dividends. I've also read training books and believe clicker/marker training to be the fastest way to set a new behaviour. I dont agree with purely positive trainiung methods as in some cases they need to know whats wrong as well as right.

He hasn't fully matured yet being only 13 months nd I think he'll probably add at least another 15lbs in the next 5 months but I cant see his personality changing.

Without Arni I would be a complete sofa bore but with him I spend at least 1 hour a day walking in the countryside. He's the best, I wouldn't swap him for any other dog.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdDc5E9Q0yE this is arni doing some home training, he hits the chair at 2.00mins and takes it as a correction which stops him from playing the dominance based game of tug. He didnt hurt his foot as I thought when it was filmed. Check out my other vids for more on arni.
