so reading this post and having an 8 month old nueterd male. it makes me wonder...

how much confidence is enough? but not too much?

one trainier who taught Schutzand (spelled wrong i know) said Cody was a little on the timid side, and that i should enroll him in schutzand to build his confidence.

will schutzand build confiedence? what about agility? what is the right "type" of confidence? confidence that the puppy can dominate another by biting? confidence that the puppy can run faster, jump higher than the other?

am i making any sense?
