Joined an obedience club in kent, because my usual training club only does the puppy good citizen and wanted to do the bronze as well. He got his Bronze after six classes and is really good. He has had a teenage wobble in the last week, but still passed no problem and will do a stay for several minutes, when the other dogs were finding the minute hard. The lady who takes the class and the one juding it, were both overly keen for me to continue with my dog, were even over talking to OH telling him he should encourage me. And that the dog has a fabulous gait? The thing is I wonder how much my terrier will enjoys it. They is a lot of lead jerking which I simply won't do to my pup, as if a terrier doesn't want to lie down, jerking the lead won't make them. A bit torn what to do, and whether to continue and do the silver. As going through terrible teenage phase and OH thinks a bit of obedience training will be good, and its my dog, and if I don't like any lead jerking etc. just don't do it. Only do what I feel happy doing with our little dog and use my padded harness in training and just use collar and lead for the exams. What do you more experienced peeps think?
