When Marley was almost 6 months old they took him to obedience school. It did not go well at all, he would not follow any of the instructions. The trainer used them as an example of how dogs should not behave, she said there are not bad dogs just bad owners and that any dog can learn to behave. Next she told John to let her walk Marley so she could show him how it was supposed to be done. Marley behaved just as badly for her, he almost pulled her arm off because he was going so fast.. At the end of the class she told John to stay so she could talk to him. She told him that Marley was too young for the class and should come back in a couple of months.
They found a good vet for Marley and frequently asked him questions.One day when they took him in the vet said they should get him neutered. John did not really like the idea, but Jenny thought it was a good idea. Eventually they decided to have the procedure done. Oh the way to the vet John let Marley stick his head out the window and before he knew it half his body was out the window. Jenny had to stop the car and help get Marley back in the car. This was quite a scene for all the people around them.

I cant believe that they still kept Marley after all the trouble he has already caused them. He does provided a lot of laughter for them and observers, so that is probably one of the main reasons they love him, even though he is a disaster.
