thanks y'all. i have spent quite some time w/ moby, but in reality, he learned a lot of the commands in a relatively short amount of time. what took the longest, believe it or not, was the "high 5", as he was confusing it w/ "shake" and "stay" (hand) command.
i can't wait to sign him up for agility courses, but i need to research the courses in this area first, to see which one seems to have better training.
benjamin, moby is a papillon/havanese mix. havanese is considered a very smart toy breed. as for the papillon, it's the
8th smartest breed in the world.
