Congratulations, I'm so happy for you, as I know how much you wanted this.
It is amazing as you see them become well behaved, that they actually settle down and will look to you for approval.... they will want to please you. It creates a wonderful bond, and such a great reward for you and the doggies.
The training I had done with Meika 2 yrs. ago was life changing for all of us. I also know that we could have achieved even more if I was more diligent about doing my homework practice sessions. I slacked off a bit because of the hassle of having 4 furkids wanting my attention and interacting.
Love your update, and will look forward to more
