ive just got an akita, the first one ive had, hes only ten weeks old but already having loads of fun training him. I think praising him for doing good works better than treating him and the more attention i give him the better he responds to my commands ( cokerNW@aol.com) p.s love the website

    Excellent lens. 5 stars. I've never owned a dog but I walk them at the local humane society and County animal control shelters. My husband and I share our home with 8 cats so they would be none to happy to have a dog added to the family. :-D Purrs, Frankie
