Until you spend a lot of time with other breeds you don't realize how special our GSDs' memories are. Other breeds don't remember the way our dogs do. Trust me. Some of my clients will remember me, for better or for worse, but most, after a year or so don't know me from the rest of the crowd. I worked with a dog this weekend that I know can't remember much, only what she does repeatedly. This can make change harder. She is wired to do the things she does, and to rewire her will take her owner being very consistent about new expectations. But if they do the work this dog will be "fixed" in a month. sheila Kmgraphic2@xxxxxxx wrote: iam 110% convinced dogs have memories - and they are kinder and more forgiving than our own. diane Diane Strasser Silstra German Shepherds ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
