He is my shadow as of late. Thor has some *ahem*issues* is that how you'd say it? Anyways, sometimes we think he may be short a few brain cells or something. For example, today he was sitting next to me and all of a sudden he ran out of the room and started barking. I looked around trying to figure it out...turns out it was a POSTER that i had set on the ironing board. I picked it up and he went nuts and ran into the other room and hid. I tried to call him back but he was too freaked out to come near me. Anyways, just things like that make us think there might be something wrong in there?
Well last June Thor and I started taking obedience classes to hopefully help with some of his issues and get him better socialized with people and other dogs. It has made a HUGE difference! I am so glad we did it and it was worth EVERY dollar! He still has some dominance issues, and still isn't crazy about other dogs, but at least he can function around them now. The thing that has improved most is his behavior towards me. He used to never listen to me and now he does (usually). In fact, now he follows me EVERYWHERE! Sometimes he won't even go outside to potty unless i go out too. If i sit on the couch he will sit next to me and just look at me, if I go to the bathroom he waits outside the door. I like having a buddy, but now we're going to have to work on him being a little more independent!

it's like having a big kid. I can't pee in peace anymore, knowing some little ears (or your case big ears) are sitting outside the door! Oh well it's fun!
Thor really is "special" isn't he? LOL, at least obedience school helped.
