Hee! I guess all I can say is, that they have all been trained consistently and carefully from puppyhood; it's a lot of work, but dogs are always a lot of work, and everything about life with them is so much better when they are trained that I can't imagine not taking the extra time.

Of course, it helps that we're working with a bunch of collies and shelties here---they thrive on training, the more detailed the better, and if they don't get it, they tend to become barky, neurotic messes. Jez, however, attests that even independent wolfdogs can become polite citizens with patient consistency coupled with an honest understanding of when and how they will break training.

Coba is currently showing in competitive obedience, Bliss will start next year, and Rooster, my sweetie's puppy, is well headed in that direction. I am extremely proud of all of them. :D
