Any ideas for an adult dog?...

First let me say I am NOT frustrated with Tanner, I am frustrated with MYSELF...When I first got Tanner, I had a plan in my mind of how I was going to train him...I wanted a controlled walk on leash but not necessarily a strict heel position...I trained a sheltie before and showed him in...

I am looking for games to play with Tanner that doesn't encourage aggression...I taught him to play fetch which he likes but I've been trying to think of other things to do with him...I thought of hide and seek which would help re-enforce the recall...Anybody have any ideas for other...
