The only way we know if someone is at the door with them in the house is when they all scatter to hide!! <p>The idea is that when I'm away and DW is home alone, she'll have some modicom of protection. Right now, he's about as tough as a wet dishrag (although his little baby teeth are as sharp as razors!!). <p>We have training classes lined up, we've been reading and devouring every tidbit of information about "Rotties" and their lifestyles, social habits, issues and problems, and have talked to at least a dozen "experts" over this past weekend after picking up this little guy on Friday. &nbsp;Oh...and he's also a 'chic magnet' at the pet store!!! LOL! <p>I have a feeling I'm going to be getting a lot of excercise over the next 10 years or so!! dog guard Preps Defense Sun, 26 Oct 2008 12:52:50 GMT Bronco Bill http://www.newfluwiki2.com/diary/2810/
