Very-Dozer-day

I have to take back my comment this morning about Dozer gaining brains. I took him and Tali for a hike in the park solo this afternoon and while he walked really well on the way out, as soon as we turned around he became a nightmare of pulling and lunging and being baddog. We were about to head back to the car when we ran into a really handsome 8-month old Berner pup named Max. He was about the same size and build as Dozer is at almost 2! And much better behaved! Definitely think I have the freaky outlier. I still love my boy, but it has been a bit of a frustrating day and my knee is sore from Doz slamming into me in one of his hyper-excited jerk-dog scrambles.
