I hope I'm posting this in the right section. I think I just need some reassurance from those who have titled their rotties
Max is almost 7 months old and we are coming to the end of our competitive puppy 2 class and will soon enter the novice attention 1 class. I work full-time so I can only work with Max in the morning and after work. My hubby is home most of the time I'm gone, but I don't want him to do the advanced commands since he's never been to a class to observe and I'm afraid he'll undo all that I've managed to accomplish with Max. So he goes over the basic stuff (sit, settle, come) and tricks I've taught.
There are a couple of people (and their dogs) in the class who are way ahead of me, either because they don't work F/T or have done this before (I haven't) that I sometimes get discouraged. I know the path I've chosen wouldn't be easy, it would take a lot of work and dedication, and I guess I just wanted to hear some stories of people who managed to title their rotties while working F/T.
Max is amazing and is very tolerant of my newbie mistakes. Sometimes he doesn't feel like working, but I'm always trying to find ways to make it fun and motivating for him. He definitely keeps me on my toes! We are a bit behind, but I'm working daily to get us up to snuff for graduation. I am deterined to title him, and I guess I'm just in a low point right now. All my positiveness is used up in training I guess!
Any stories you can share would be greatly appreciated!
