Reply To: How easy is it to "mess up' a puppy?

thanks so much for responding James.

Yes – i’m pretty fluent in Foundation Style dog training and I’m keeping up w mike’s current online classes.

Shadow is a German Shepherd (ukrainian or something, actually) – he’s doing pretty well at 16 weeks – good phase 2 sit and climb (w excellent leash resistance) – also good attitude and body language.

the dog seems to be more clear-headed than my last german shepherd, but also a little less sharp (if you know what i mean)

the kid’s cluelessness about foundation style training does not seem to be interfering w the training, as of yet.

I’m just worried they will screw up the implied stay, really – what do you think?

do i need to make big deal about this?
