Obedience Breakthrough
 

Thought i'd share me and Berlin's remarkable progress in obedience. We are on a whole new level of understanding, and progressing so much lately! He is about to graduate his intermediate class next week, and we are going to take one 6 week course geared toward the CGC and take that soon. THEN. Onto more important things!

But anyways, I have gotten this unruly, testosterone fueled, high drive, hyper 8 month old puppy to FOCUS on me and STAY while I move away in the presence of the kitties, he doesn't even glance at them.

The dog who once did *not* understand heeling one bit, is now doing GREAT with the beginnings of heeling (in the house)...he has been following me around on my left side, stopping when I stop, looking at my face. He gets the idea of heeling! :happyboogie: Loose leash walking now, even in the middle of petsmart, is so nice, he walks so nicely next to me.

The puppy who i *never* thought would be able to hold a down stay, is now down staying while I walk away! And wont move until I "free" him.

I am so proud. He is so reliable with sit, down, and stand also. We have moved on to visual commands for those, and he responds to both verbal and visual commands for those three.

:happyboogie::happyboogie::happyboogie:

Congrats! Can't wait till Zoey can do that well.

That is such good news to hear. I was upset for you thinking that you might have to rehome Berlin because of the cats.

I knew he was a good boy inside. He just needed you to help him along. ;)

congrats!! :D

Thanks guys. And no rehoming for him. He is such a good boy and just needs me to help him learn whats right and wrong. :)

YAY!!!! Congrats!!!! Breakthroughs are awesome!!!!!! MUST GET VIDEO!!!!

Its nice when everything comes together. Lots of people go to classes, don't see any progress, so they leave classes. Obedience is a work in progress and at the end very worth it.
