Yes there are medical reasons people do not neuter as well as medical reasons to neuter. Both are a consideration of the owner. I've always neutered my boys, but I do it once they are full grown.

Finally have a trained mother...
Yes! My training is working on my mother! She is the big softy when it comes to dogs (all animals really) and I have had a time to remind her that commands are only said once and PRAISE! She does listen to me, but forgets when I am not around. She had been complaining that my dobie would crowd her o...

I think you are doing great! Maybe you want to target nose to hand... that way you can direct him down. How I taught easy... When I was teaching the dogwalk, I usually had a tab on his/her collar for guidance only (be careful not to pull them off). I would have them go slowly up with the command &qu...
