Tell us about yourself: Hi.....my name is Angela. I have 2 daughters and 1 granddaughter. All of my dogs (and cats) are rescues. I have a puppy that we just adopted that I think could be at least part Dutch Shepherd. We also have a 2 year old pug/min pin mix and an 11 year old border collie and possible lab mix.
At the end of class we did a group sit/stay and down/stay. Roxie was put in between 2 other dogs at 4 foot intervals. For the sit, both dogs next to her broke the stay and someone was making lots of noise with their keys in the ring....she stayed the full minute! On the down, one of the dogs broke it and the other dogs owner kept saying stay and waving treats around and again she stayed for the full time! It's a pretty big deal for a pup that just turned a year old I think! I have been told that she's ready for me to start expecting more perfection from her.

Yay! That's so exciting. I can't believe she's just turned a year. I can't believe Odin's going to be 3 this year. Everyone grows up too fast. How many more classes do you have to go in this session?

Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind. Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32. Can't wait for all the snow to get gone! Spring is coming too slow this year!
Tell us about yourself: Had a GSD, am getting a DS puppy in a few weeks. Compete in agility, obedience, and cross train in tons of stuff. Found out about this site from the DS Rescue yahoo list.
congratulations! You have every right to be proud!!
(good luck with that perfection thing )

She has 4 classes left in this session. We do 8 week classes. She is up to advanced beginners....we did beginners twice due to her age. I'm a little worried about her passing the CGC test at the end because she has a sudden fear of strangers. I've been working on it, taking her out....having strangers give her treats. I just don't see anything miraculous happening in the next 4 weeks. She's friendly enough but the separation thing might be too much for her.

Angela...there's no rush on the CGC! If you're pretty sure the separation exercise will be too hard for her, just wait and give yourselves opportunities to train and practice that exercise.
You want her to be successful. You don't want to set her up to fail. Listen to yourself...you know your pup.
If you want ideas for working on this...let me know. I'm always full of ideas
Keep up the great work!
