Training and neutering

I can't wait to get Charlie into training classes. CAN.NOT.WAIT! He pulls like crazy. I have been debating on the choke chains, pinch collars and gentle leaders. I have read up on them, researched and I think I might try the gentle leader first. It seems less painful and I am not really a fan of choke chains. I just need a well trained pup. He can sit and wait, come when called and that is about it. I am working with him, but I don't have a lot of patience, so I kind of suck.

I also redid a fecal on Charlie and he only came back Elisa positive for Giardia. Considering when we found him he had hookworms, roundworms and giardia, I was very happy. Why so happy? Well, one) I don't want to get any intestinal parasites and two) he can now be neutered! Yes! I am all for spaying and neutering. I don't need floppy dog balls or crazy stray pets anywhere.
