Mocha came back from his school. He has been there for 2 months because of his bad behavior. He has been trained by a professional trainer who raises police dogs and service dogs, like guide dogs.
The trainer told us, "He looks like he's under a spell and it isn't really him. It's important to keep him under this magic spell all the time. Petting him is completely different from spoiling him." Those are meaningful words.
He got so calm with other dogs and people. It's fun to walk him in the early morning. It might be good medicine for my status. As I wrote before, I'm on the border between the metabolic syndrome and the normal range.
