I'm training Oscar! :)

Hey all....just some background...I got Oscar in Dec 11. Let him get settled in then wanted to start target training. Big problem is that he was deathly afraid of anything that resembled a stick. I am thinking that maybe he was tormented in his previous home by someone using a stick or rod. Anyhow...took me this long to desensatize him to it and started the target training....he took to it like a champ and progressed in leaps and bounds. I am almost more happy about him overcoming his fear than the actual training but looking forward to the ongoing training. Thanks for listening.
