Thankyou everyone!! I will indeed look at the youtube videos etc you have all uggested. Yep I reckon the toys he has currently outstrip what the kids have! I have the treat balls and the tug o ropes and medicine type balls and and and and LOL!! Totally agree with the comment of kids not egging him on. Yep if you roll on the floor expect to be pounced on! Gunzy seems to destroy stuff when he isnt getting attention from me. He happily will put bum down and run at break neck speed around the yard to catch a ball! He is also crate trained, which is where I pop him when I have to have someone in the house. He sits fine in that and yes only way of stopping the glass jumping. I rotate his toys so there is something new outthere every few days. he is fed lots of edible bones so those jaws get a good work out.totally teenage boy, totally distracted by anything from a fly to a leaf! I will keep you all updated and hopefully present a trained up dog AND owner!!! Ill be the smiling one on 2 legs! :)

Hi all, thankyou for your feedback. I have found a place where I will be attending with Gunzy. its been highly recommended by a friend who had rescue 7 mth old dog and only found resulys from this trainer after going through 3 others as well as board and train, which didnt work. Gunzy is highly affectionate.....jumping on everyone to greet them regardless of whether they belong to our family or not, destroying the yard, jumping up onto the glass doors to get my attantion if he has been put outside due to a visitor etc. he play bites (and now licking the laptop as I type, since my hands are busy NOT patting him. he wont come, sit, stay. wont walk calmly on leash..... and on and on it goes. I agree the training should not only be for the dog but for me too. This was my apprehension which board and train even though they said they would do handover at the ned with me. Still, I wasnt 100% and I had to follow my gut. I was feeling desperate and so was willing to overside my instinct a couple of weeks ago. Glad I chnaged my mind I think. I will be with this trainer (as will husband!) as he has not wanted to participate with training thus far which has just given me the shits. We have 3 kids under 12 so its impossible for them to walk Gunzy and it has almost become impossible for me, but it has to be done. I have laccerated fingers from his pulling the lead, but i bought him, he is part of the family and he needs attention and love from us no matter how exhausting it is. I hope we can get the same fab results for Gunzy that this friend did for her dog. I can only try my best and go on recommndations I guess. I think it will take time, but he is my buddy at home when everyone is out so it would be nice to go hang at the park and the coffee shop together, because he is beautiful, just OVER THE TOP, till we figure things out. Keep your fingers crossed for us! I am new to this forum and appreciate feedback. i will let you all know how we go. Training is scheduled for end of May 2015. I while away, but I will hang in there with Gunzy. Thanks all!
