Thank you everyone:D
I am very excited about having a dog we can do therapy work with. It is something I wanted to do with my previous Rotties, but unfortunately I did not know how important early socialization was. Thankfully I learned from my previous mistakes and did not make the same one with these two.

congrats....... i would like to add that your dogs are still young very young and dont give up when you have some setbacks........this is a job they can do until they are really up in age so dont rush ... you should be very proud of them

Larry,
I totally agree with you. Akasha and Keil are very young and we plan on taking it very slow with them. I am hoping to test Akasha again sometime this spring, IF I feel she is ready. If she is not ready then we will wait until she is. I want this to be something they enjoy for a very long time, so we will do our best to keep it positive and fun for them.

We have been waiting until the holidays are over to take Keil in to get his physical. Once he gets the ok from the vet then my daughter and I are going to start going on visits with the group w/o Keil, so we can get a feel for things before taking him.

I am really looking forward to getting started in what I hope will be a long and rewarding venture :D :D
