Thanks for the info no the delay. I never would have thought of that! definetly helps! He's doing good taking things slow. He follows mydaughter around her shadow. IAngela

Thank you for the reminder of not pushing and saying no. I knew that, just forgot, so thanks. My daughter is also special needs so I'm always in the room with her when the dog is.

Hi, I just rescued a St. Bernard today, and it's blind. Took me a few minutes to figure it out, but well he is. So, I've had big dogs before, not a problem. But....I've never had a blind one.
