          was adopted in December 2007 and was shy, refused to walk on a leash, 
          and could not walk up the stairs.  Within the first week, he began to 
          feel more comfortable around people, proudly walked up and down the 
          stairs, and enjoyed walking on a leash.  
           
           
          
          
           
          
          In 
          January, we brought him to Level I classes at 
          Carolark 
          School for Canine Behaviour in Kanata, ON and he really began to 
          blossom.  It wasn't long before we realized we had the smartest dog in 
          the class (maybe we are a little biased!).  Now, he can sit, stay, lie 
          down, roll over: overall he is well behaved, calmer, and much more 
          confident.  We are currently in the process of signing him up for 
          Level II classes to keep up with the training.  In the future, we will 
          also be taking him to agility training!
           
          
          
           
           
          
          Around 
          the house, he is a happy, quiet boy.  He LOVES being around people and 
          cuddling.  He is such a good boy and a wonderful addition to our 
          family.
