She would never jump up on anyone. Of course people are always afraid of Shepherds and when we would encounter her going for a walk without a leash on they would always say oh my gosh will she bite me? And Jim would always hesitate and say I don't know, do you have liverwurst in your pocket? Because then she might! And that would make everybody laugh and realize that she really had absolutely no interest in them at all. She did hate the UPS man though! The mailman came everyday, and she had been told often enough to 'leave it' and so she wouldn't pay any attention to him, but that UPS man he just showed up out of nowhere at random times! I guess you simply couldn't trust a fellow like that! She had a Kong on a rope that could be thrown a long way and when she brought it back she was trained to place it neatly between your feet. She was a treasure.
Oh my gosh that sounds wonderful! But the training was a huge difference in her behavior or was she pretty good already?
Funny about the UPS man! I guess because it wasn't a routine thing everyday?
It was totally in the training. She had no idea what the rules were prior to that. Going for training specific to her breed gave her a purpose and dignity. She became a proud Shepherd and Jim learned how to be a Shepherd owner. He couldn't say enough good things about the course.
ok well that was a great investment! How long was the course?
