Notice the quotes around ‘Obedience’. Hot on the heels of our Schutzhund class was Gitta’s first day in Dogwood’s “Intro to Comp” class. This class does not focus on specific obedience skills (or very many control behaviors) – but is more on the side of focus, attention, and drive. We took this class years (and years!) ago with Sammie and it was one of our big influences as trainers. We have since become quite good friends with Debby (the owner of Dogwood) and Judy (the instructor for Intro to Comp). It was fun being back in this class, and it is a fabulous class with a fabulous instructor.
Wonder of wonders – there were actually TWO other rottie pups there. Brothers who were 11 weeks old (and had no tails 
So three young rottie pups in one class!
I thought Gitta did very well considering it’s an hour long class (I periodically put her in her crate while the instructor was talking), though she really goes after my hands, cuffs, shoes, her leash, etc. Sigh. THAT’S something that’s going to take some work (and some growing up!!)!
