The Road to the CGC test

Congratulations! Have you decided what's next? Obedience? Agility? Flyball?

Keep having fun with Duncan and Pierre.

Thanks guys! As long as I remember to breathe, we have fun. My instructor told me yesterday to have more confidence in my boys. It's true.

Next? I think I want to get Pierre into a Control Unleashed class to hone his attention skills. With Duncan, I could probably learn the skills with Pierre in the class and bring them home and work with him on my own (maybe). I really want to get him into agility but he is a little young right now (and I'm a little busy). I think we'll take a month off classes then go back to it in time for summer. That will give us time to get Duncan fixed, as we are still waiting on the voucher from the county.
 
Working on attention skills before starting Agility (or further Obedience) is a good idea. I didn't do that with Phebe, and now we're taking some private lessons to make up for that gap. Also, even though she passed the CGC easily at 9 months, she's still not mentally mature at 14 months and the fun of Agility makes her 'forget'.
