One proud mommy!

Shiloh is too shy to woof his own howl, but this is one proud mommy! My shy boy, who when he first came to us was terrified of any new person, esp men, passed his Canine Good Citizen test today! He did so very well, even tho I could tell he was nervous. Obedience school has helped him come out of his shell so very much and he loves going there to work and mooch treats from the others doggy ma's and paw's.

One of his school buddies, Fergus the Irish Wolfhound, was there too and he passed his test as well. Fergus had no nerves tho - he's a therapy doggy, so he's used to being round people. Fergus' sister, Caroline, and our poodle friends, Astrid & Tuesday all passed as well. Our trainer, Kathy Manser, will be so proud of all of us! But not as proud as this mommy!
Guinness is jealous of Shiloh's new bling. But we have to face reality, she's just too leash aggressive to pass this test. She even flunked doggie school, twice, cuz she was sooo worried about protecting Mommy from the other doggies, she couldn't settle down. She does know how to do the commands and she's a very smart girl, but she's also very uptight & protective. Sad, really, considering Guinness was not a rescue dog, but one we raised from a puppy.
You can see here that while she's confused, Guinness has forgiven Shiloh. He's too humble to show off.
