John and Jenny had finally realized Marley needed to be trained. He needed to learn how to listen to commands so they could tell him to sit down or to stop. Their vet recommended a class that the owners to take control of their dog. They signed up immediately. John and Jenny get to the park and there are a lot of other dogs in the class as well. John opens the door and Marley bolts out of the car to greet the other dogs. John went running after him. Every time he got close to grabbing the leash, Marley would run to go see another dog. He finally “got within a strikimg distance and took a giant leap, landing hard with both feet on his leash”(Grogen 60). Marley jerked back and finally got in line with the other dogs. The teacher told the couple that there is only one master so jenny stepped up to the plate. As soon as the teacher started talking, Marley darted off into the park. He was already tired of the class. At the end of the class the obedience teacher asked them not never come back because he was “too young”. After reading this, I predict that Marley will never learn to behave. He will always be the trouble making dog.
