Dutch Shepherd Forum

We've been working on Bramble taking and holding various items. She made steady progress, but still wouldn't take and hold a bottle. This session she finally got it. One of her tasks is retrieving my son's headphones when needed.

Then on our way out, I wasn't paying attention, looked down and realized a dog was within arm's reach of us. Bramble didn't bat an eye. I was so proud of her. This dog who was so reactive, just looked and kept moving.

And Casper has also made great strides to the point we think he will be ready for training by the end of the month. He is now choosing to stay out in the livingroom with the family in the evening and has even started "asking" to be picked up and cuddled. Before he'd hide and avoided touch.

Awesome work!

It's great that Caspar is coming out of his shell.

And, Bramble maintaining focus on his job is extraordinary.

Great work!
