My dad hasn’t disciplined his dog at ally. I periodically take care of the dog when he’s out of town, and any time I do the first couple walks the dog is crazy. Constantly pulling, bolting and yanking my arm (this has given Dad a shoulder injury).

But I don’t put up with it, and after a couple walks the dog respects me and just walks alongside me.

The weird thing is my dad was in the army and is one of the most disciplined people I know. I don’t know why he seems unable (or maybe uninterested?) in training the dog.

He’s a smart dog. He picks things up very quickly. I swear he understands about 50 - 100 words of English.

Just seems so weird that my dad wouldn’t train his dog.
