It never occured to me about setting a good foundation. That's an amazing piece of advice! I will definitely keep that in mind as we're training. I'm such a newbie
Ayoka - I will definitely look into the PCD. I didn't know that was available. I think it would benefit both of us to try that first, me espeically since it'll give me an idea of what I'm up against!
I know I shouldn't compare Max to the other dogs in the class, but it's so hard to do sometimes.
We did so well in Puppy K class that I think I'm putting too much pressure on both of us in this class. I'm going to take a step back, take a deep breath and let things happen. I'll repeat the class if needed. I guess I'm just a bit shell-shocked because the puppy k class was so easy and relaxing and the competitive puppy 2 class is so not!
Thanks again for all the advice and support. I really needed it!
