Thank you for your reply. I will try to contact realitydreamer. Just that they are so expert and serious and might not want to entertain my petty questions hehe. But I'll try.
Since you are involved in PP dogsport now, I would like to request a word of two of advise from you. May I know if my lab/dal mix have a potential to be a PP dog? What sort of temperament needed? She is actually timid and have some fear aggression with oher people and dogs. Will she overcome it with OB and try to be trained a PP dog later depending on her performance?...but first I would like to find out what kind of temperament the dog for dogsports should be. If my mixed breed failed, and I were to look for a working line GSD what price am I looking at? And can I start with an older puppy say, 6-8 months? Thanks a lot!
sorry to kaypo a bit ya.. now that you have given more details i can explain a part of it. Fear aggression cannot be cured by OB. You need to speak to a behavior correctal specialist. If I may know your location I can recommend you to some trainers. All training starts with basic OBedience. 6-8 months is definitely not too late. Usually recommended to start after all vaccines are done and even old dogs can learn new tricks. you just have to understand the dog's character to be able to teach it. Experienced trainers will know how to do it. Dun fall for those lousy trainers who have never even train a dog that can pass Novice level. Many cheapskate trainers out there I hope you do your research properly on the trainer. I can be contacted at acs_yen @ h.o.t.m.a.i.l.c.o.m if you need any help.
