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! |
Competitive Puppy Class???

I've never heard of that. I thought puppies should be learning the basics...building a good foundation...not worrying about competing.
I would also bet that the Competitive Puppy class is full of Golden Retrievers?
Now there's a breed that can do an exercise over and over again...and seemingly never get bored. This breed seems to always excel in competitive
obedience.
Give me a Rottweiler any day to train..they will at least use their brains and tell you when they've had enough or are bored...you have to be creative to train a rottie.
