Original Toronto Star caption: Axel's owner could show you a trick or two. Axel Von Havelberg is such a good dog his trainer; Wolfram Klose; has been asked to train children- and even wives-in obedience. Axel; a 5-year-old German Shepherd; is Canada's obedience trial champion and he'll fetch car keys; balance on beams; jump fences and leap through hoops to prove it. His tricks have earned him roles in TV movies. How did Klose; co-owner of Havelberg Kennels; Orono; train Axel? With discipline and praise; Klose said; and he recommends same formula for humans. I've had inquiries from husbands wanting to send their wives. I tell them there's no charge.
