FYI. If you're interested in checking out a NADAC trial (no teeters), there'll be one at Rohr Park (Bonita/Chula Vista) next weekend. I'll be there. And if you like what you see, maybe you'd like to sign up for a trial in November at the same park. It's a great way to get out there w/o stressing out on the teeter and having to do it.
I may do that. I do take Shadow to trials for an hour or two once in a while because he's sensitive to new or different things and he's not going to improve being left at home.
Justicemom - I love the story about Ember, it made me laugh, she sounds like a handful, in a good way. I know Shadow will only do something correctly twice, the third time he's reluctant and looks at me as if to say, "I already did that". So I try to keep his training sessions short. He's my first Sheltie but I can see harsh words/attitude would not work with him, which is actually nice, who wants to yell at their dog?
