I am so happy to read these posts. My Mayze is still learning the basics (She's 11 weeks old), but I am trying to throw in commands like "enough" and "too close" (She tries to walk right at my legs and almost trips me - I was ttold by another trainer that that's because *she's* the one looking for support. After I get some of the basics down, I am going to start working on her with interaction with the public. She is excited when she sees adults, but when she sees children, she becomes extremely hyper.

Actually, this weekend, I am moving. I found out that right across the street from me is a trainer of service dogs! I am aware of my limited knowledge of training past the basics, so I am hoping that she can help me (I will pay her, of course).

btw - Nice to "meet" you two
