I haven't done any obedience with my Yorkie yet, trying to get his medical stuff resolved and then I will take him where I took my G. Shepherd. My shepherd, Hunter, got his CGC and the test wasn't that bad. The separation was definitely the worst. I had a friend help me with that, just kind of did it gradually. Then I had people that we didn't know very well hold him while I was out of his sight, it really helped get him past that test. Once he knew that I would come back he was OK and was good for the test. His sit, stay and come are excellent. Terriers are harder though I think. They are a little more independent and not quite so willing to please. Don't get me wrong, it's one of the traits I love most about the terrier breed and why I own a Jack Russell and a Yorkie. But it does make obedience a little more challenging. I'm looking forward to working with Indy as soon as he's well. |
