I suggested that they stop feeding him at meal times and only feed him when he comes when he's called. His wife is a full time mother, so she's home all day and can keep a treat pouch with her and feed him throughout the day.
You may want to try that.

I totally agree, I should have mentioned that my sis, her neightbor and I meet once a week with our dogs at the beach in the early am. We used to jog but since I got Rory I made them bring their dogs too. They know eachother very well. All together we have two pittes, a dobie, and a lab. We walk all the way to the end and let them go to town. It's helpful for us to train them and exercise ourselves, ha ha! We even had a lady ask us if she could join but I dont think her cocker spaniel woulda lasted to long, plus her lil dog was a meany and threw off the whole vib
