Shazmnldb Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Hi and welcome - we are new owners too, our girl is 5.5 months old. Your little Jin is just adorable! Lewie'sMom got it in one - "you have been assimilated". In the three months we have had Lilli, I am constantly amazed at her intelligence, some of the time she definitely has it over me, it is like she is anticipating what I am either going to do or say next. I have had other breeds of dogs before (German Shepherd cross, Boxer and Australian Terrier) and as much as I adored all three of them, nothing compares to the BC's ability to understand and learn at the pace they do. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean mac Posted July 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Hey anyone on here have a bc with really strong guarding instincts? It took me by surprise at first but Jin gave himself the job of guarding the house and the kids. The kids were playing in the backyard and I was looking out through the kitchen window. The guy that cuts the lawn opened the gate and went in the back really quickly. He was moving really quickly to get his job done, the guy is kind of sneaky wears a hoody etc.. Holy crap... Jin went full mallinois on him until he went back on the other side of the fence. This is not something that I am encouraging. I didn't have enough control of him in the above situation. So I am working on training him with more obedience and with more focus on me. Here's what I'm doing so far with him.Sit, stay, come with hand signals or verbal, he's good with all these. Lie down (not great sometimes)Fetch, gimme(drop).Walks on lead very well.Walks off lead well. Recall good. But he stays about 10 yards ahead of me, which is my mistake as I've let him do this since he was a pup. So I'm working on getting him to walk to heel off lead. Any tips on this?Steadiness with cows and sheep. Getting better but not 100% by far.I'm training him one thing at a time.The thing I'm working on right now is lie down, getting that more solid then it's going to be walk to heel off lead.There are some trials nearby next weekend I'm going to take him to have a look.
