Judi, you just don't know how much that means to me, coming from you.
When we first got Julius, I had a picture in my head of the dog that I wanted him to be. We've accepted him for who he is & love him for that.
Actually, at the trial this weekend, Julius was just loving everyone. Ryan & I talked about it last night & really said that we are starting to see a difference in his behavior. He will not initiate the greeting with people that he doesn't know...which is fine with me, but will let them say hello without ducking or anything. That is huge for us. We're just proud of the big guy & are ready for work on that CD now.
Just have to master the stand for exam & am hoping to build his confidence up a bit more for that. That's one of the reasons I was checking out the books.
