Jack is glad to be home!
Yesterday, Jack took 1st place in his class - we were so surprised and proud of him! It was a huge win for us personally! We learned so much this weekend and have identified a few key things that need to be fixed with Jack. I think we are going to have a few private lessons from a trainer who can help us fix the position of his head (our main issue right now). It is all the little technical aspects that makes this very tough. I feel like I finally get one thing fixed to only have 2 more things pop up. But, we are not going to give up and will do whatever it takes to improve and keep on going. Being an owner handler is very tough.....but, I do love being in the ring with Jack and will keep on doing it. I know that I will eventually have to have a professional handler to help me finish him, but since this is something that I want to do for a long time, better learn how to properly handle dogs now. It is my hope in the future to be able to handle other people's Boxers as well in the ring.
A huge thanks again to Pat who has given me amazing advice and encouragement and always tells me the truth, even if it is not what I want to hear. She really was an amazing support this weekend and I am truly appreciative and grateful for everything you are helping me with.
