Tonight Kort started a competitive obedience class. He is doing so well I can hardly believe it...I found myself just smiling at him on more then one occasion tonight. The best part was when he stayed for his long sit & down!! We have only just started working seriously, & he is coming along in leaps & bounds. His heeling is fantastic, unless he sees something new!, like a new dog in class, his sits are improving, he's still a bit lazy & likes to roll on his hip. Amanda gave me some great tips to correct that. The biggest accomplishment was that he learned what "front" means....he's not perfect yet, but 2 weeks ago he had no clue! Tonight he was with the 3 other handlers & dogs that could also do a front, & I'd like to add that all the other dogs were older then Kort!
My dream is to have an OT. CH. someday, & I think Kort is the dog that will achieve this goal!

You will be a great team and you will do it! He just strikes me as such a bright young dog. I love how he is looking up at you! I can only take about 10 steps with Caden so far LOL!
he did great last night jo!!!!
Who would have thought it, given the way Kort has been at times! Well lots of times! But that is so great Jolene! Best of luck! Duffy says he's very proud of his brother!
Kort's awesome! He'll get that OTCH :)
thanks everyone!!.....I've had alot of help & encouragement with Kort & it sure has helped us!
Wow, you are amazing!! I don't know if I could train in obedience again...the idea seems so yucky to me...I'd rather ride that 100 miles in 24 hrs!!!
I am very excited for Kort doing so well. What a boy!! Is Tate jealous????
yes Diana, Tate is a bit jealous! I have to make sure to train Kort where Tate isn't...if I don't then I have both of them doing the commands, & Tate just gets in the way! I make sure to still make Tate feel important though!
