He has to be jumping the fence, Because after yet another careful inspection, The entire perimter is intact and secure at the bottom. Its a 6 foot security fence, so somehow he is getting to higher ground before hopping it. Maybe climbing a tree, We have a Russian Olive in the backyard that might be right for that. I think I'm going to build a dog run this weekend.

I haven't bought a choker chain, but i have gotten one with the plastic teeth inside (gives him a little pinch if he pulls too much). I only use it when walking him, and hes actually taken pretty well to it.

I am most definitely going to get professional assistance training him. I feel awful saying this, but I simply do not have the time to devote to stumbling around trying to figure out how best to train him. I need to get down to business, get him trained and get started with the having fun. Anyone have experience with these "Doggy Daycares"? Theres one right near my work, and I'm going to check it out today at lunch. I understand they devote a very large portion to teaching the dogs, but I see 2 potential problems:

1. Its not me training him.
2. I'm suspicious of the claims that each dog is individually taken care of.
