We bought Rajah as a young puppy. We have a 9 year old and we didn't think it wise to take on a dog we had not trained ourselves. If it were just Eva and I, a rescued stray would of been saved.

The last thing we wanted was some unknown personality in the house, 35+ kilos of muscle, a set of teeth and a bad temperament. And young children. Rajah will let little children pull him around, take his food and he does nothing. He thinks it's a game, because I trained him to think it's a game.

Yesterday I put his lunch in his bowl and left him in his room to eat it. I did not tell him to eat it and 20 minutes later, wondering where he was, I found him sitting staring at his food. I didn't tell him to "Eat".
