Training for Odin

Post by felixone123 »

found a great trainer for Odin and we have started advanced OB. Only had 2 sessions and he has already tested the trainer :oops: Interesting to see another side of this sweet boy :o .

Our goal for now is for him to be extremely well trained on and off leash. There may be other goals down the road later. We'll see. But for now, learning lots of things and having fun practicing. He is a quick study and keeps me on my toes at all times :lol:

Tell us about yourself: I adopted a Dutch Shepherd mix (without knowing what she was) from the SPCA here in Victoria BC and am now trying to learn everything I can about this breed. My husband and I work from home most of the time so I thought it was time to get a puppy! We have his 2 boys here half the time and we wanted a nice family dog.

Sugar looks like a miniature Dutch Shepherd with floppy ears, and has every ounce of DS traits in her little body!

I hope to learn from other DS owners and share doggy experiences.

what did the trainer do that made Odin go for him? Did he yank or something?
