Oban got into garbage that I didn't see but nearly a week later a plastic bag much bigger than a sandwich bag made a reluctant appearance....
Who "sent" you home? Your family? I suggest it might be easier to have those walks with just you and Ted. Ted is likely feeling the excitement...
Yes.
Palm to dog, fingers pointing up, hand vertical (or slanted a bit if dog is low down) and pushed to dog a bit or just held up. Probably very much...
That is scary. I'm sitting here right now cursing the two next door to us who have horrible, high pitched, yappy barking. Aggression is more...
Me? Just how I was taught I guess. We learned sit. Yes, they are expected to remain sitting till told other wise. But in competitive obedience...

What about a friend with a friendly dog to walk with you? Does he have a doggy friend?
Ditto above, only throw twice or maybe just once. What kind of a ball is it? My dog LOVES tennis balls and likes to chew on them. Which is bad...
Right away, in that the crate door was open all the time. The crate was in a pen or our gated kitchen. I hate the idea of my puppy stuck in a...
A sudden change in his behaviour, especially at his age, warrants a Vet visit. He could have vision or hearing problems, hurt somewhere,...
