Yes we were bloody "those two" I couldn't believe it as she's been able to go for walks just the last 4 days and had been so over friendly with anyone one walking past us I couldn't believe it tonight she was petrified while all the other pups sat lovely next to their owners ( how do they manage that!) mind was climbing the walls trying to find the nearest exit and apart from a 5 min respite when she had knackered herself I didn't hear a word the trainer said really. It doesn't help that she hasn't accepted the car crate either so she's already in a tis before we walked through the door. I was about to say ah well next week can't be worse but I best not tempt fate

Don't panic. Mine was terrified the first two weeks and just barked the whole session. So week 3 i expected the same. Except when we got there she darted through the door, tail wagging and loved it. The final week we were used as a goodexample of some of the commands! It gets better!

I must say mine wasn't petrified, she was very excited, so my advice wont be relevant but i would stick at it anyway Blush

i was the person whose dog walked in, went rather wild, crapped in front of the whole room and then carried on the same as before and then i spent the whole hour trying to distract her in the other room bit and didn't hear a thing either
it was exhausting

Glad I'm not alone and one last rant I went on a 40mile round trip for dried liver this afternoon as I heard dogs love it she does seem to quite like it but omg the smell I had my kitchen window open while cutting it and since getting home I've washed my hands twice but they still smell enough to make me feel queasy. Funny you say week 3 Blinked as I msg the breeder to let her know how it went and she said that'll prob happen too

just buy some chicken livers out of the freezer ()or reduced liver of any sort) and make a liver cake

it's boaksome :o but you bake it and then cut into squares and bag into sandwich bags and put into freezer so you have little induvidual bags of the cake. Then get one out and chop up into little bits before training. It costs about £2 to make a massive load

it is disgusting though making it
