Good Neighbor!

The Good Neighbor Certificate is for dogs that can stay calm and follow commands.  I never tried it before because Sassy gets nervous around dogs in certain circumstances and can snarl and growl, looking (but never actually) aggressive.  She can also be a little too apprehensive with strangers and the test had people with wheelbarrows and others opening and closing umbrellas as they walked past and in front of us....

I never thought we would get it but we did!

Herding Dog!

We signed up for a chance to test Sassy's herding instinct and she did great.  Ran outside the herd and brought them in...wasn't intimidated by them.  The evaluator said Sassy could be herding on her own in 3 months after some classes.  Too bad it's so far a drive (near Hope).
