Puppy Training

2 days of no rain and high's in the mid-50's means we can go to the park. So I pack up Asa to an almost deserted park near my house (apparently other's are not so hardy) and let him loose. He is of course enamored with the woman walking her dogs and although he stays with me, he watches her so closely I am about ready to call him a stalker. Then one of the dogs starts running off so the woman calls her dog back and who should respond but the kid who plays deaf for me- Asa to answer the call. Hello! I wish someone had told me to forgo the child psychology books and get puppy training instead.
