Original Toronto Star caption: Oh; well -- it's a dog's life. The Canadian obedience trial champion dog is Axel von Havelberg; a 5-year-old German shepherd trained by Wolfram Klose of Orono. Axel leaps through hoops and fetches car keys on command; and that has gotten him roles on television. Klose says he uses discipline and praise to train dogs; he advises the same for people.
