This is Bear, aka Satan. My Shepherd/Elkhound/Spitz rescue. He was 3 lbs at 8 weeks old when we adopted him and told was a Pom mix. He is now 2, 32 lbs (yes he is a runt - his biological brother is 70 lbs). He went from Bear to Satan overnight a few weeks back so we started training. We just finished a session this morning and he is out. Bear is coming back and he is once again my incredible sidekick. Never underestimate the value of a great trainer so you can learn what you are doing wrong.
