Hello everyone, just wanted to share a quick and amusing (at least I think it's funny) story about my boy. As many of you know he recently got his third haircut (at Petsmart) with his original groomer. So he spent a few hours there and when he was done I walked him around the store to do a little window shopping. Well I ran into one of their trainers and explained how I'm having trouble socializing and controlling him around people and dogs. The trainer was very nice and asked what was his name. Told him "Aolani" and he called him over to him. Don't you know, this little actor was sooo charming with him and another member of the staff that I was stunned and kept repeating, "I'm not kidding -he often lunges and barks up a storm." Dogs were even passing by him and no reaction. All I could do was laugh in astonishment. The trainer did give me a couple of tips and seemed to be enjoying his time with Aolani. At one point he even saw his groomer and went towards her too (not lunged) but wanted to let her know he was there. She was very nice too. I know that I still have a lot of work to do with Aolani but eperiences like these and the one I had walking him in the neighborhood the other day where he allowed a very nice lady to pet him (of course she was giving him treats) make me believe that he'll come around some day.Well, that was it - I wonder if he'll hire me as his agent when he hits is big time :HistericalSmiley:
