I have a rescue Great Pyr that is so sweet. We visit the nursing home and college campuses and he attracts such great attention. I have tried to do obedience training with him to get him into pet therapy school but it isn't working out for me. The last time we had to do the PT audition (you have to be evaluated before you get admitted), the lady evaulation (who does show dogs) kept barking orders at him (didn't respond well and just laid down and looked at her like she was crazy). I have talked to a few trainers but they want to go the Very Agressive Ways of talking to him. He's very sweet but unless he passes this entry evaluation, I won't be able to get him into school. Does anyone have suggestions? There must be better trainors out there that understand this breed. He's not stupid. Help!

My Great Pyrenees woke up this morning vomiting. But it’s only clear but I can tell she doesn’t feel good. She normally is happy and playing in the morning.
