|  Eye Contact / Focus... At what age should a pup be giving eye contact? I mean prolonged eye contact? Reason I say, is that my 15 week old GSD bitch will look at me in the eyes, when I call her name...and will hold that gaze for up to 30 seconds....often more..with a quick glance away...and then back again.... It's certainly helps with obedience training at this young age..... as she's very focussed... The other day, at the working dog group I attend... she managed eye focus/contact with me despite other dogs doing heel training/work in and out of us... It sounds a daft question, as I'm aware she sounds a joy...but I can't help but thinking that she's a bit OTT at times..and tries to be overly dominant..... I'm also thinking that her intense behaviour might be a problem later... Having said all of the above.... I can't believe how well she's coming along...   |
