to my post on the behaviour forum. 10 days ago I started a new training class at a long established club in the county and attended a free taster session, puppy improvers which went well, friendly and welcoming. Last Saturday they were running a mini internal competition instead, so we had ago at puppy rally -- and came 4th out of 10 ! Slightly cheating as she's over 12 months but we were allowed as we've only just joined Then we tried the Level 1 which went pretty well, until towards the end when Miss Cassie felt she'd done enough sitting and had lain down once already Only a very small thing but considering we've never done any thing with other dogs and people around I was pleased with her and it was fun. Mind you... there was some pretty impressive vertical jumping and lunging at other dogs at other times... ah well, work in progress
Kate has hit the nail on the head Selina, I think we are all guilty of this. Very well done to you and Cassie you did great xx
I think this is spot on. I think we are all victims of this and forgot to celebrate all the positives.
