Hi stacia,  Toby sounds like my Randy, an alpha boy.  We have struggled over who is incharge from the beginning and he is so hyper.  I ended up getting him a friend (Reese, corgi mix I think) who had been in shelters but she was terribly ill when we got her but she is well now and has a will of her own.  She isn't as active as Randy is but she is someone to play with.  Randy just passed 2 in October and seems to be calming just a little bit!! So I am hoping for a calmer still wonderful randy.  Like Toby, he is very lovable but is still too much for guests.  I am still working on that.  Lois
