Jake joined our household at 8 weeks of age. He started his training with Loel Turpin (vom Koby Haus Dobermans) almost immediately.
He was an eager learner and quickly picked up the basics of recall, sit, and platz (lie down). With some more work and a lot of practice he passed his Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test.
As well as the elements of basic and Shutzhund obedience, he began to learn tracking. He started with scent pads, then short tracks, followed by learning to recognize and indicate articles. His mother's search and rescue talent has certainly served him well.
