This! Reddington was a much slower learner than both of my poodles. He has also needed multiple breaks from service work to maintain success. It doesn’t mean that he is any less valid than other working dogs 💙

man...you have a whole decade ahead of you to try and do all of the things...there is no reason any of them HAVE to happen as a puppy.

I love this. Although you’ve done AMAZING so far! If it’s helpful I mapped out a very doable year plan broken down for my puppy based on mine and the breeders goals—because yeah, I want to do all the things, but I know it’s not possible.

Do the fun things and the thing you enjoy! I did it “backwards” and put hunt test and performance titles on my dog before I recently finished her show championship at 3 years old

felt this, Ace has gotten to that phase where some days he's absolutely incredible and others it seems like he's never been trained a day in his life and I've just gotta work with what I get day by day 😅

Thanks for this! Raising a puppy is such a rewarding experience and when they are still young I try to just go with the flow and have fun! Our puppies are the same age!

Yess! We have sooo many years with our dogs, not everything needs to be done within the first couple years!

Just entered my first Novice obedience and rally classes with my 5 year old border collie. I wanted to do this years ago, but we spent time doing so many other things before I decided to do this!
