I just want to share this to everybody. I already emailed Julie but anyway, here it is:
So Odin went to his first ever group lesson on Sat, there were about 20 dogs in there ! Let me tell you, Odin did so good I was beaming with PRIDE! There’s a lady there with her Golden and does advanced OB trials and she was all asking me how old Odin was and for how long we’ve been training. She started telling me about what the judges will look for etc. I was like – wait I’m not sure about trials yet, it’s our first day!!
There’s a couple there with another GSD -rescue, she literally stopped me and just loved on Odin, saying how she’s never seen such a beautiful gsd! Another couple asked me yesterday if Im planning to breed him- ha ha! I told them I am more than happy to give them your number. 😉
Good boy Odin!!
Looks like he had fun at your sisters house. What a nice pool.
ditto on the pool!
Who is that BIG handsome GSD????? NO wait it isn’t a GSD it is a GWD,,,German Water Dog. Didn’t you just pick up a little puppy from me like a month or so ago? Congratulations on a great first group class! It sounds like Odin did you proud and you did us proud presenting a wonderful well-behaved GSD.
I know right? I come home from work and there’s this big gsd in my house! Oh I was so proud of him in the class, not only because of how good he was on his first day doing the obedience work but he didn’t lunge or eat the small yappy dogs! You should have seen my stupid grin the whole time we were there. ha ha!
Josie, did you get a new dog? Where’s the puppy? Odin looks fabulous. I love the shot of him on the steps. Sounds like you are off to a wonderful start with class—keep up the good work.
He pretty much took over my sister’s pool, her golden’s were like “what the heck? this is our pool!” :D.
Josie, what is PSA?

I love this sport! Love it love it love it! It so much fun training with Odin- he’s like a different dog when we’re on the field, very focus. We stopped going for a while because I am too chicken about the heat- but I guess I need to tough it out and just go out there.
