    Last night was the first class for Tempest. She attended Star puppy class, while Gambit started APDT Rally. The puppy class is very small, the other dogs are an english bulldog and a lab. Joe took Tempest to class and sat in a circle with the other owners and instructor as they all took turns passing thier pups around and giving treats and praise and learning what the class would entail. Tempest was a good girl giving little sits for her treats and kisses to all. Gambit looked over at Tempests' ring and then looked up at me as if to say, I'm working my curly tail off over here and shes getting treats and snuggles.

    Gambit did great in two runs thru the rally course. It was my first time doing a slow and fast walk station with her and she adjusted perfectly. The only fault the instructor could find was that I tended to have a tight lead. Now to work on that over the weekend. I may have my first dog to progress in rally beyond an RN as Gambit did not pay any attention to the two agility rings going on to either side of our ring. Trog and Xander always wanted to go visit the other rings when I tried them off lead.

    What a delightful picture. It sounds as though the two of them did very well in their respective classes.

    They are just over 15 lbs each. They are really tiiny compared to the adults, but are growning up so well porportioned that they look older. I love their fronts, they take after uncle Xander, nice and solid. Got Tempests Fanconi test back last night, one week turn around and she is a probable clear. So nice. 3 of the 6 in the litter were clear and 3 carriers.

    @sanjibasenji said in Crate training: I have much respect for that accumulated knowledge, but, not to sound rude, that does not make that person a certified or licensed trainer. I actually was offended by what you posted. You said you respect the knowledge, but disregard it because they aren't a "certified or licensed trainer"? These are well-intentioned breeders who volunteer to engage with others on the Forum in an attempt to educate and celebrate this amazing dog breed. They share their knowledge. You don't have to agree with them. Offer your opinion and move on. Please don't suggest that their opinion, experience, and education isn't valid because they aren't "certified" or "licensed". Your overall intent screams that you believe yourself to be better than the rest of us: "I'm a scientist with a PhD." Which puts the rest of us beneath you? In education and social stature? You couldn't know about anyone's socioeconomic status, educational achievements, or expertise on any subject. But you deemed to think it was appropriate to put us in our place. And that, was rude. Even the analogy you offered is an indication that you don't value anyone who doesn't have a degree. Frankly, if you are hearing conflicting opinions about the same piece of art, get a third opinion. The person with the degree may have just scraped by with a C+, while the person who devoted decades may have been under the tutelage of a Master Artist. And really, if you are planning to purchase such a prized piece of Art, shouldn't you educate yourself so you can make an intelligent decision instead of allowing others to tell you what to buy? As an aside: The original YouTube link remains, but we certainly do not need her entire catalog of videos. Sharing information is one thing, advertising for someone is another. I would hope that you understand that not everything you see online is true. Including claims to be an expert, certified, trained, Dr., etc., etc. Lots of people in the world are just selling a story.

    My Dog used a Litter Box until 12 Weeks of Age. After that, I took her to the Horse Farm and let her 'Pack' with older well-trained Dogs. She mimicked their behaviors and she learned how to Sit, Stay, Come when called and lay down. The Dogs did a great job of training mine. I did not have very many problems. these dogs get a bad reputation for being hard to train but they really aren't. They are very stubborn and would rather die than negotiate. Therein lies the importance of understanding the Dog's body language, that tells you all you need to know. They are extremely intelligent and never forget a thing, including people and other animals. Good luck with it!

    I also have a Verizon air card USB - the video may use it all up. Also, instead of using the laptop with the air card, I used my home computer to call it up and found you have to subscribe to something in order to watch - it's my policy not to do that. So, even though the video may be great, you do have to sign up with something to do so.

    HA! We did the up& back method at my petsmart class. Jack is so flexible, he would actually follow the treat back with his head, until his head was almost lying on his back. I think what I finally had to do was push his butt down with one hand, while holding the treat in front of his face with the other. He got really good at it…now, he sits when I snap my fingers, when I say sit, or, my favorite, when I salute him. Good luck!
