I know what you mean.. I like training my dogs myself too.. and I have invented commands that suit my life stytem and not concerned myself with teaching them things they don't need for our lives together. But I have also taken mine to dog training... we have a lot of fun, they get well socialized, and before you know it.. you do learn something! I've gained some priceless gems of advice. I've got 4 dogs and now when i leave the house we stop before my open gateway.. they all have to sit.. takes a while
.. then I step out and when I'm ready I say 'ok' and we start our walk. Just this one thing has changed the start of our walks from doggie chaos to comparative calmness! Just enjoy Sadie, but enjoy the classes too and take from them what you want x x
