So you sent Cherokee to obediance class? How much does that cost? We pet and love on her a lot, but have both noticed that most of the time she will hold her head to the side and not look directly at us when when we are petting and hugging and talking to her. If I understand you correctly, it seems getting her to look us in the eye would be a very good thing. We try to teach her things, and sometimes she will respond and sometimes she acts like she's deaf! Most of the time she is very affectionate, but then she will act like she could care less! I don't get it.

Each place has their own set price, the humane society charges $79 for obedience classes.

My husband took Cherokee to beginner obedience and I have done two continuing education classes. Where I live they are a little more expensive than Durbs are but, it is worth every penny. It teaches you so much and it teaches you to teach your dog. Plus, being around other dogs is very important too. It has also helped us control him around our cat (I did see your other post). I didn't know how to respond to that one because our cat doesn't go outside so we don't have to worry about them unsupervised and she is very good about escaping to high places when she has had enough. We have only had to tell him off of her once because it looked like he was going to pick her up by the leg.

Thanks MMM. I will look into obedience classes. It probably is very worth the cost. I think we will enjoy her more and she will be able to enjoy us more with a little understanding on how to taech her. I thank all of you who took the time to respond with your thoughts and advice. The cat might be the most thankful of all! I really appreciate the input.

Well, I didn't see this question answered clearly.

Most dogs stop chewing at about half a year of age.
