[nagdu] Working Our Dogs

[Sarah]

Wizard used to love to work when we were at the school with 
instructors but now that we're home he goes slow and acts like he 
don't want to go.

I work Landon most days and what he gets depends on my schedule.  
Landon
likes his days off and so do I.  I think new dogs need more work 
because
they still need the practice.  It also depends on the dog's 
personality as
well.

 Hello list,

 I was wondering how often do you work your dogs? I feel like I 
have to
 work Wizard every day and I feel guilty if I just let him have 
one day
 off.  How long is the longest you've allied your dogs time off?

 Lyn my husband and I were at the convention last weekend.  Our 
dogs
 misbehaved and growled and were immediately corrected.  I would 
agree with
 you if we chose not to bring our dogs under control but we did 
and it
 didn't happen again.  When you know all of the facts then please 
make
 judgment calls on whether a dog should remain in a situation.  I 
don't
 know of any dog that hasn't made a misstep and the important 
thing is that
 the dogs were corrected properly and immediately.  In fact they 
were still
 lying at our feet.  They didn't stand up or approach in any way.
