omg, now i am so confused

Since you are not working this breed ( unless I missed a post) A second DS with out good solid pure DS experience could make life hell.

I think I was going off of this. But then again that was a few drinks ago.

ah, ok, thanks. I do believe that the dog is not being worked, nose work, Sport etc, just a house dog.

A small update from us....

Today we did training in another race court. Totally new for us and the training was a bit disappointed. Corrine was in shock cause of the new environment so she didn't give her best. Probably will not run the race at the end of February cause she is not ready for this.

Now I have to train her everywhere where I can so she can be more comfortable in new environments. I m so sad cause I was waiting for this race for her. To boost here confidence.

Want to build confidence? Take her to the bar with you, take her over friends houses, take her everywhere you go. She'll be fine over time and who knows what she experienced before you got her. I have a little female Dutchie that looks about the same as your dog but not as thin. Asia's very timid at times but has become a great dog with a lot of exposure to new environments and new people.

Mario,

Any updates on Corrine, have you seen her become more confident? Hope you two are doing well.

Hey

Thank you for asking and Sorry but I was very busy with my work this days so I didn't see your message before.

So We officially close one year together. She is not the same dog as she was when i adopt her but she has a lot of difference since then. The last months I dont see such a big difference but a lot of people say to me the opposite. She is playing more with me at the house (only) but now she is going to smell or play with others dogs when we are for a walk. In some weeks I will leave from the city for holidays and I think that it will be good for her cause she is more relaxed when we are in the countryside.

Later I will post some photos of her.

And some photos of my girl

What a beautiful girl.

That first picture would have been great for the photo of the month contest for July.

She is gorgeous. That group picture is great!

Thank you very much both and all the members who gave me their advice!!
