Dutch Shepherd Forum

We share the backyard with 2 other apartments, and until now, people coming out their doors, or the basement laundry room would startle Odin a bit. We've been doing agility training back there for the last few weeks, and I'll put him in a sit stay if someone needs to come in the fence.

Today, after my husband came back from a walk with him, one neighbor was coming out of the basement, so he walked him over by the house and at the same time, the upstairs neighbor was leaving. Odin got really excited and walked right up to the upstairs neighbors to get petted when they walked by. I'm so excited that's he's learning that others live here too!

He seems to have a favoritism towards all young men that he meets, and everyone in our building, except me, is a 20-something guy.

YEAH!!!

Good thing, it wouldnt be good if you share a back yard with people Odin didnt like.

That is great! I know that makes you breathe easier!

That's awesome. Our shared yard is the place where El has the MOST trouble trusting people. She's pretty sure all the grass is hers.

Odin is obviously brilliant! range:

Good boy Odin!!

that's great!! range:

That is awesome! You're so lucky; sounds like you landed a jewel with Odin.

He's absolutely wonderful. I'm glad that we decided to adopt rather than go the puppy route this time. We visited my parents in Michigan for Easter and he loved their property.

Open fields, woods, and a lake. After 2 days he was the tour guide to any family member that wanted to go for a hike. I've got some pictures finally, so I'll get around to posting those sometime today.
