Merrilie, Your Sam is becoming a teenager.  Ever had a 14 yr old boy, same
difference.  Go to my website and read the article  "The Teenage LGD"  I
know I write specifically about working dogs but these techniques will work
with most any behavior problem.

PLEASE tell me that there is a BRAIN behind those adoring brown eyes, and
that he truly loves me........... for the last 2 days Sam has been a holy
terror.......... he will NOT walk on the leash, he will NOT come, he will
NOT stay..... he will NOT work for treats.. he is pulling stuff that he
hasn't done in a l-o-n-g time! ie: chewing on the leash while walking,
biting me, running and jumping on me......... please convince me that this 
IS JUST A PHASE and will pass...... I did threaten him with *rescue* - he
managed to get a straw wreath that was 5 feet off the ground on the wall!
He was alone with our dalli for all of 1 HR!  I call him with the intent of
crating him till he settles down..... he bounds to me until I reach down to
grab his collar and bounds the other direction--- he thinks it's a great
game and I'm not playing!  So I ignore him......He could care less!  What
the heck is going on here???????  Is it the stars, the moon, the cooler
weather? Not lack of exercise... we went running and walking (well, I ran) 
and I am tired- why isn't he?   Maybe the age, the ?????????????????? 
cause at this rate, he will be a fuzzy windchime when hurricane Floyd hits
the east coast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Merrilie and Sam the incorrigible 4 mo old.....  *but Mom..... I'm only a
kid!*   grrrrrrrrrr
