I agree with everyone ! Obedience classes are great socialization for puppies, puppy play classes are also a must! You have a herding dog, they need ongoing mental stimulation through out their lives to be happy. . and getting her into Obedience now might *curb* the obnoxious teenager stage that is coming up!! It's way easier to re-inforce behaviors and training when she's an adult if she's been doing it all her life, and she needs to get used to being obedient when around other dogs/people/distractions. . so, ASAP is the best time to enroll Bijou in OB!! Even if she is a sweetheart ^_~
