Re: Ready for civil helper

When I first started Jaycee in classes, I asked about PP. She was about 8/9 months old. The trainer said giver her a couple months. So, when we were finished with the class over a month later he did some testing. He asked me lots of different questions about how she reacts to things, a new noise, a knock on the door, a stranger on the street, so on, (she would alert me and would do small steps towards investigating, but mostly would run back to me)how she reacted when I gave her a command in those situations (she would almost always listen) and then he watched how she reacted to watching to other doges getting worked. THen, he put her on a line to a pole and tested to see if she would engage with the helper. She did, so I guess that's how I knew...Someone else told me! :-)
