It's not You, it's Me...

The dog trainer told me what I suspected. I have a challenge on my hands. Mr Murphy is not satisfied with my leadership skills and thinks that it's his turn to be in charge. So I have to work on obedience extra hard and limit his access to certain rooms in the house. She also suggested crating him during the day. From experience, I know that this will be a tough road to go down with him. He has a strong, negative reaction to being locked in a crate. I don't know how that's going to go, but I have to trust that the trainer is right. He's sleeping like a little angel at my side right now...
