The fun in raising a puppy...

I have a question (more for Sara, I suppose). With Pongo mouthing so much, and with the shyness he's show in the past, are you still planning on doing Schutzhund with him? How is his obedience coming along aside from all that? Granted I've never worked with a protection dog before, but I would personally be afraid of encouraging bad behaviors as a side effect. Any ideas what your future plans are?
