I would be real interested in that process. Has your trainer done any
specific "drills" with the dog, or changed your behavior or way of
communication/what message you send the dog?

Tomorrow is our first appointment. Mr Ed has some history tho. He was
surrendered twice at the pound before I got him and he seems to know
about shock collars, choke collars, knows how to open a slider and a
regular chain link gate (with the U shaped latch) but he can jump over
a 36" fence. He also knows how to open an in swing, lever handle door.
I can see why they use labs for service dogs and I am wondering if
that is where his lineage is.

I had one dog like that. We were in the country so I didn't worry much
about it, just tried to keep her happy and out of trouble
