Not to be out done by his brothers (Houdini and Egor) or sister (Heffala), Jethro (2007 litter) passed his Canine Good Citizen test. It took some work and determination to help Jethro understand that he does not have to constantly be on “high alert” when it comes to a strange dog walking toward us with their owner, but he did it!! That was his single biggest challenge. Being on the farm most of the time, it was difficult for Jethro to allow other dogs to walk up to us while he sat quietly by my side.
It just goes to show that with some work and commitment you can work through any individual challenge your Bouvier may have. Remember this is a very intelligent breed and loves to learn. So get out there and have some fun working together with your dog and achieving this certification (PDF file).
Congratulations Jethro !!!!

Dear Jethro,
It was great taking advanced class with you. I am proud to be your big sister and I just knew you would pass the sillyt est they made us take at the end of all that ridiculous training. What was the purpose of all that anyway??? Always remember that I have your back if any big yellow lab or any other animals dear to cramp your space, I am going to be there to protect you!!!
I love you, Heffala
