He's a handsome boy, and lucky to be out of the shelter in a good home! You should definitely look into some agility classes once his basic obed is good. He'll love it, and it's a great way to bond and channel his energy productively.
I'm really thinking about it. I used to let him off leash in this desert area so he'd get to run around (of course he'd end up chasing the lizards and what not) and often he'd have to jump over random branches/rocks/etc. and he can jump pretty high and his form is pretty good for no training. I think he'd purposely go down paths that had something he could jump. :p
I'm actually looking into buying from a breeder in the future (after King is trained) and looking into Schutzhund. Can't decide if I want a GSD or a Mal though. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
I say good for you that you are absorbing and applying info this way!
Are you planning a career with dogs in one way or another?

Allow me to second the vote for agility or Rally-O!
I am! I moved out of my parent's house last October, and here I am two days away from being 18. Right now, I'm trying to get a job at Petsmart, and then I'm gonna look into the K9 trainers in the area and see if anyone will allow me to be their apprentice. I really want to train working dogs.
If you can, you can get a huge leg up by volunteering at a shelter.
I actually did when I was around 10 to 12. My mom used to work for one that was randomly owned by this guy. So no county rules or anything, though I'm pretty sure I was still too young. :p I've grown up with lots and lots of dogs. My mom would bring some of the dogs from the shelters home if they had been there for a while and keep them 'till someone could adopt them, otherwise they'd be put to sleep. Anyway, the county shelter is too far for me to go so often, and there's a few rescues... I'm actually thinking I'd like to foster some pups.
Just gotta wait till I have a yard. 3 months and my lease expires. FINALLY. Apartments are a fail in my book.

In addition...this site is full of questions exactly like the OP's. A little reading will enlighten her. Introducing a new dog to the home has been discussed ad nauseum. If the OP would have read Ed's article on this she would have seen how to introduce the dog to existing animal residents of the home. She did not. A person "willing to invest the effort to do it properly" likely would have researched a little first.
What you've said is rather offensive. I know a little more than the average person owning a dog. Just because I'm new to this site doesn't mean I'm new to dogs.
Yes, I've been misinformed plenty, and yeah I found this site a little late but really, there's no need to be so rude. I'm here to learn and the last thing I'd expect is an insult.
To begin with, Dannielle...I was not rude to you. If you look at my post you'll see that I responded to Kelly and the statement in quotes was hers, not yours. Additionally, Kelly came on here and called people who use the items I suggested as being lazy. Who's rude now?
My suggestion that you should read first has been made by boo coo members here numerous times in the past concerning new people not taking the time to read a little before asking the same questions over and over again. Sorry you got your feelings hurt but nothing was directed at you but some simple advice to a person no-one knew anything about.
We now know that you don't know the principle use/application behind an ecollar so my suggestion seems to apply here. You are the one who asked this question at this point in time. Now you decide to read and learn some more. I would opine that reading first would have avoided all this drama. Not being rude, just saying.
