Sky we tried the knee and he just doesn't care..so the trainer said to do the walk away deal...as he HATES being alone..it helps ME but anyone else no..he is kind of a brat.....Too cool on the service dog...I almost got one once that failed school at the Leader dog place in MI ,...but I had a dog by then,,,,,service dogs are way trained..I am glad you have one..MY DOG would eat 24 /7
