My brother in law used to wonder at the love I had for my dog. He never understood how I could let that dirty animal in my home.
Then one day he ended up with a boxer pup.
He called me later that year apologizing for his earlier thoughts.....he now can't imagine not having that dog on his couch.
You never understand til it happens.
I was very lucky to get a tremendous dog from a man (FIL Roy who I loved) who did a fantastic job of raising and training him. I can take this dog anywhere without a leash because he's so darn smart and well behaved. He knows hand signals. Takes commands with just a look or head movement. He knows me better than I know me.I remember how unsure you were in the beginning. It is very heartwarming to see the bond you now have!
like many shepherds, you might even have to watch what you are doing because you might un-intentionally teach them physical cues (even if ever so slight), sometimes quite easily, lol.
