train me, rehabilitate the dog

My dog Mo is being rehabilitated. We had a "dog whisperer" over on Sunday afternoon for me to learn how to be a dog owner. The pack mentality really works. Mo doesn't really understand sit, stay, come...but when I snap my finger, she knows she is supposed to listen to me. Before, our walks were not really walks...it was me holding the leash, but she just stopped and sniffed whenever and where ever she wanted to. Making it very frustrating to walk her. Now that I know how to use the lead (the real word for a leash) we both enjoy the walks and I actually get some exercise. I also learned that my dog is a fatty! So we are going to walk twice a day for twenty minutes and cut back on the treats...both of us!
