Hi Everyone - Quick question here.. The local GSD club is doing a temperament test this weekend and I decided the enter Simmie (Acara's SImmie Orion Free).... I told her it was time to start working fora living (at the age of 8), so this will be the first thing - albeit small, definately fun :-) Wait 'til she finds out that she will be re-enrolled back in obedience this fall :-) I assume a 6 foot lead and a chain collar are the requirements and I have heard what the basic course is (similar, if not the same as the old ATTS tests)... Can we talk to the dogs or encourage them in anyway? Not that the boss lady needs it as I have NEVER found anything that phases or bothers her. Just curious.. Also, what obedience exercises are included, I assume walking nice on leash, a stay and a recall, but I cannot for the life of me remember. If someone can send me the rules or a link, that would be awesome... I have never owned a dog who didn't have at least one title, so it's time for Simmie to go to work...
