Hello and thank you so much for this course, it is really is a lifesaver!
Already after two days of attending the course my dog is a lot calmer! She is a Belgian Shepherd of 20,5 months and has not yet come into heat. She can get extremely overexited at the expectation of playing with other dogs, especially her friends - and also when frustrated. She is very vocal in a screeming way, which is hard for me and my nervoussystem to cope with. And this has become a rather overwhelming issue in our relationship. I have nearly always had dogs in my life (71 years) and never experienced anything the like as with my third Belgian Shepherd. I have always been fond of shepherds and have had both BC, German Sh. and worked with Collies and Shelties. So I regard myself as pretty knowledgeable as how these kinds of sherpherds function.
I am slowly working myself through the course, going back and forth several times while taking notes in a book. I believe handwriting is a essential way of engaging one's brain - thereby learning.
So thank you again, James and Shelley, and your co-workers, for this possibility. I am ever so grateful!
Love from Ylva and Kari
