Judi that is some great advice and really good points. There are a couple of things with Guerin, through this thread, I can see could have been a problem. But now because we know better, we will do better. I particularly like the point of not letting them goof before class! Guerin does socialize and get a little playful before class, and it takes a time or two to get him to pay close attention in class. Now we know keep him focused. There is plenty of time AFTER class to let him be the social butterfly he wants to be.
And we are working on the watch me, as was mentioned in another thread. That is a great idea and will be invalualbe as he matures and the hormones come into play.
As you know we have no plans to neuter until he hits two, as per the breeders instructions and good advice here. We strive to be smart responsible owners, we keep him busy with play and work, discourage bad behavior and encourage the good. Through this forum we have learned so much! We have made mistakes in the past but with the knowledge so readily and instantly accessable here, we will come through this and end up with a pup that will make us proud at home and in the ring. Thanks again to all of you who so quickly respond to those of us who want to learn, and do the right thing by these great dogs.
