Recently
I purchased a female puppy from the litter of
Pacer Vom Leerburg & Uhli Vom Leerburg (Whelped
Oct.
4, 2002) owned by Tom Brown. Within just one week
she
has learned to ring a bell by the door so that
I can
let her outside to relieve herself. She has also
learned to sit, and not only retrieve a toy but
to
drop it at my feet, walk on a leash, comes when
she is
called and will sit patiently at your feet.
I
have never seen or owned a puppy that has such
an
intense drive. Talk about a BITE! Once she latches
on
to her ball you cannot bribe her off of it. For
such a
young puppy (10 weeks) she really stays focused.
It's
hard to believe at 10 weeks the outstanding attention
span she has.
I
have also enrolled to take training classes from
Tom. My very first lesson was an unforgettable
experience. I had just assumed we would start
with
obedience. We started out with 'Search & Rescue'.
It
was the most impressive class that I have ever
participated in. One of Tom's students demonstrated
what her dog could do. It was Awesome! I am so
excited
about learning and teaching my new puppy.
I
believe the best part of all is meeting a person
like Tom. You can tell within just a few minutes
with
Tom he has a very deep passion and love for not
only
training dogs, but to help others learn from his
experience and knowledge.
