yeah its just rally hard remembering that there is a 130 pound puppy. Hubby was kind of having a hard time with it too and I told him to remember that he couldn't stand Gracie at that age too. I'm very happy as I sit here and type this Tank is on the floor Gracie is on the couch next to me and I have two cats on the top of the couch. We spend all night last night following Franks advice and I had him on the leash for two hours last night, so tonight he started getting excited and I grabbed the leash and just showed it too him he laid down. I don't want to make the leash negative so I have a chain leash and I am using that for him for inside the house.
