I never understood why my ex told the dogs to wait when she opened their doors, until I opened a door and had one of our dogs Rambo out of it and knock me on my butt.

And I test my pack often on this command. I use the word "wait" for "don't you dare cross that threshold"........ My clients who practice are always glad they did. The rest, well they paid me anyway, it is up to them to follow through with their own dogs. sheila ________________________________ From: Jessica MacMillan <spotted101@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thu, March 18, 2010 12:31:09 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: collars My dogs wear collars all the time - complete with tags. They have their microchips, but not everyone has a scanner or will catch and scan a dog for a chip. Accidents happen, no matter how carefully we try to prevent things. A dog is more likely to escape in most homes than get his chin caught in a collar. And all of my visiting dogs wear one of MY collars with my tags on it... Too many horror stories otherwise.
