As i was walking towards the door with coffees,i could see Tracey trying to pull Vegas off the damn picnic table! People were laughing at him cause he sat there loud & proud watching the world go by.I know his previous owners allowed him to do as he pleased,but couple of people said (while i was inside cafe and Tracey told me what they said)-"he's not been trained very well".All i did was say to him "Vegas-down" and he immediately got down onto the ground.
She did justify Vegas's actions by explaining to them that i havent had him long and im having to undo the bad habits he has been allowed to get away with.He's getting better,but we still have a long way to go with regards to jumping up/getting on furniture/recall,but do wish people wouldnt automatically assume its from lack of my training.Training bad habits out of an adolescent dog isnt as easy as some may think!
Aww you are doing an excellent job with him Steve.
If I saw a dog do this I would be laughing my head off not commenting on its training, or lack of it, where is their sense of humour 
My sister has a bichon who she says we can have as a friend for Benji if we want, but I am not too sure because he is so badly trained. He is allowed on the furniture (which ours isn't ) he chases after people who run, especially joggers and barks at their ankles (Benji would never dream of doing this and only goes up to people if they have a dog with them and then only if the dog gives friendly signs, if not he leaves it alone) He has soo many bad habits that I don't feel that I would be able to train them out of him so easily.

Came home earlier and Vegas has had another Andrex moment...
Bog roll,ripped up and scattered all over kitchen/diner (why does he choose to do it in there?).Also,he has chewed my bog brush (eeeek!) and the holder!
Funny thing is,as i was just opening the door,i thought to myself-damn,i gotta hoover the house now,but didnt expect this all again!
Now i've got to remember to shut the bathroom door when leaving him alone!
