I like it!!!!!! Good looking boy.

Great pics. Post as many as you want : - } Luv to see them...... Let's bring out some long coat pictures too people : - }

Nice collage, he looks good! No, IMO its not to late at all!!

Good time his adult teeth are in so his mouth should be to tender.

Yes good time to start! Soon you'll be hooked too!

Love that intense look of his! Good Luck with him and enjoy every minute.

How do you post pictures here

thanks for the great compliments everyone : ) glad to hear its not to late....ive tried not to enforce much of my "play" training with him, i did'nt want to teach him something wrong....mainly just the basic stuff, sit, down, stay...i do still "play" tracking with him, he just loves it so much and it keeps him from being bored...but i know im letting him do that wrong too...when he finds the object ive hidden, he doesn't lay down or sit by it and signal to me that he has found it- he just grabs the toy and brings it to me or runs off to play with it...any tips on how to teach him the right way?.... just the other day, i had a large stick i was throwing for him.... i decided to play a little hide and seek...so i made him sit and stay in the yard while i went to the edge of the woods and threw it ....neither of us can see where it goes when i throw something in there, very thick pine trees with yupon bushes along the edges, but once you get past the yupons its just pine trees, so there is enough room for me to walk around but stiil thick enough for hiding things...anyway, i went back to him and told him to 'find it'....off he goes....i walked into the edge of the woods with him just to watch...i couldnt see the stick anywhere...at first he scaned the whole area, thhen he zoned in on one little group of trees...he kept running around them, sniffing....when a small gust of wind blew....he suddenly looked up, and then i looked up...there was the stick, stuck about six feet in the pine tree.....i was thinking "good, he can't reach it so he has no choice but to sit and bark at it"....maybe this was how i could teach him not to grab it himself....but nope...the dang bugger CLIMBED the tree...lol...they are young pines so they still have some low branches about four or five feet from the ground....before i could do anything he ran straight to that tree, put his front paws on the lower limbs and was albe to pull himself up just enough to strech out his neck and get the stick himself........ soooo.....how do i teach a dog to signal for me to get it, when he is so determined to do it himself? also, if there is anything else i could/ should be doing with him...what do you expect dogs to already know when they join a club? or is it best to keep him green ?
