Whitney - do you train others?

I think i will be trying a whole new approach with my guy as i am not sure what happened with him before i got him. He is like 'off to the races' once i open the gate to leave the pasture. So that makes me 'ready' to get ahold of him once i open it - no relaxing until after the lunging or a...
