HI guys,  I just had to share the news with you. Hemi (H litter) and Dakota (P litter) are doing very well with training. BOTH dogs walk well on the leash, ignore barking and loose dogs, and mind my girls. I was astounded. I know they are smart and easily trainable but the change in one week has been remarkable. Hemi and Dakota are ball chasing fools. We bought a ball on the cord as you showed us at your home. We use it only during training. When they see us get it out they sit by the door and wait for us. As you can see by the pictures, there is peace and harmony now as both dogs get worked equally so there is no jealousy. A working GSD is certainly a happier dog all around. As you said calm leadership goes a long way as does consistancy. I really appreciated the tips you gave me and pointing out I wasn't really giving them a chance--over correcting. Now I expect their quick response and they give it.

Thanks again for the great dogs.

My girls love them!
