I make Eric sound bad! Really, I'm phenomenally happy with him.
Actually, the fact that you think he can improve, like you believe that he wants to on a subconsious level, says that you are very happy with him  I never doubted that at all. Increased romanticism without going directly into sappyness is a pretty common request from most of my clients... Um, maybe I should use a different word other than "client."
If you want a good trick, and it usually only takes a couple weeks, is to teach Barry his right from his left. The words are different enough that dogs know that they are different tricks. "Gimme' your left, gimme' your right..." People are amazed. I amazed that my dogs are smarter  Teaching them to recycle empty beer and soda bottles took a little longer...
