Tibetan Terrier and German Shepherd puppy playing
Both of these dogs are at Novice B level in obedience training with The B’dos. Dog Training Club. Because the grounds used by The Barbados Dog Training Club are enclosed, I usually let the Tibetan Terrier enjoy herself playing with other dogs after her Novice level obedience classes
The dog she loves to play with is a German Shepherd puppy from working lines, and they take turns at chasing each other at full speed. Now, the Tibetan could pick other breeds but this German Shepherd puppy is her particular friend.
She makes no serious effort to play with the other dogs on class like the breeds in the gundog, hound group and other dogs and I don’t think the German Shepherd tries to play with the other dogs either. These two do very fast turns and full runs and thoroughly enjoy themselves.
I think it is great for a dog doing repetitive exercises like obedience to be able to have lots of fun afterwards. I believe in making it fun for any dog I train and I believe in training through positive motivation and reinforcement. Although some dogs might enjoy the obedience exercises, I think there is nothing more fun than a great run and chase with their favourite dog friend afterwards.
