Hey hide and seek is a good idea, she is getting really good at holding her sits and downs so maybe we can start that now. She did really well last night with focus games too I was happy. We did a 30 second - 1 min sit stay and focus on me the whole time and then go fetch, drop it and repeat. See, she's a smart girl, she just decides to ignore me sometimes. I didn't know doberteens were this soon! Sounds like maybe you will be teaching me at D.O.G II!!! I'm at a point with Zeus I need to look at something more and work his brain more. Schuz would be awesome but clubs are not taking members and I know I would have time conflicts vs the weekly time required. Fellow D.O.G members you are all inspiring me to look, find, explore options and do more., what?? not sure, but I have to start the journey looking. Good discussion topic this weekend when we all meet. Yeah we can do some brainstorming Sunday.. I like that everyone has so many different opinions and tips to offer! I don't know what I would do if Monica didn't create this wonderful forum... So thank you Monica!!! ;D ;D I can probably speak for all of us on that one!

Yup this forum is awesome. Thanks Monica! The other doberman sites I used to frequent are all in the past.
We would all be hanging around DT or DC and wooring about getting nailed by soapbox preachers or hidden agendas at DT. DC is pretty good but I get my doberman internet fix quite nicely here. The Dobereich family is great! The D.O.G thing was a dream I thought would be cool someday and that's coming together nicely too.

So Andreina....put a bug in Monica's ear that you also want to start obedience training with Scarlet with her, and she knows we're waiting also with Kazi. She is a fantastic trainer. After all, who knows Dobermans needs, attitudes, and personalities better than Monica. Once a week at her home, and you won't believe what you will learn about your little girl.
I told Kazi about her play date this Sunday, and she promised that she would be well-rested for Scarlet. lol.

Has kazi done any formal classes yet?

Kazi hasn't done any 'formal' training yet....we took Dante to Monica for his training, and now we want to start Kazi with her as well. Kerrie is working with Kazi using the same techniques that were taught by Monica. Of course, when you're with Monica, she can immediately see and correct a wrong technique. So, yes, we would definately do training again with Monica, and I hope that she is starting it by October. (just a plug Monica....)

The training with Monica would be awesome. Depends on the time of year she does it though. Winters could be difficult with a lot of snow as we are about an hour and 45 min away. We'll see, and let me know if you hear anything from Monica, Or Monica msg me if you are reading this with info!
