When Benny was a Puppy

Here's Ben when we first got him. He was about 5 months old. This was back in 2003 when we still lived in Montclair.

He was quite a handful! We sent him to board with a trainer for 2 weeks. It turned into 3 weeks, and at the end he could walk on a leash and sit on command. But that was about it!

Since then he's learned a repertoire of tricks but he's still a handful. He has a fearsome growl that scares people, and sometimes he still pulls on the leash. Training continues.
