So, on Saturday Trent, Jake and I had our first oficial dog obedience class! The teacher taught us some basics about how to get your dog's attention without actually wanting him to come to you, teaching him how to sit, leave things alone, and come in an emergency. So far Jake has been catching onto these pretty well...he'd pretty much do anything for a treat.
But the most useful thing that the teacher taught us is to get an air horn (you know those annoying things that people sometimes take to sports games) and when he jumps up on us to blow it right in his face ;) Let's just say you probably can't find any air horns in the Layton Wal-mart for the next week. The most amazing thing is that IT WORKS! It scares the crap out of him and we'll probably be prematurely deaf but at least we'll have our sanity. Now it's been a couple days and he doesn't jump up very much even without the blow to the face. Thank you Safety Sport, Ozone safe Air Horn!!!

That's super funny. I never would have thought to use something like that. Its good you have found something that works. Could you ask for me how to keep your dog from escaping to see the neighbors dog?
