Sad news

Well today I had an eval with our cfr so he could see how Andrew was doing. Im always nervous for these but today i was extra nervous something in me just knew this one would be different from all the others ive done. Andrew is a great dog but he has some issues such as not wanting to listen to others. I got there early and had lunch with my leader. Then it was time to meet up with the cfr. It started out with us sitting and talking about Andrew our cfr was worried about some of the issues but still didnt think Andrew should be ccd. Then the big test came where i had to handover Andrew to the cfr so he could walk Andrew. I was told to wait at the table while the cfr and my leader walked. Soon as i handed over that leash trouble started Andrew got excited and was jumping and biting his leash not wanting to listen. My leader and cfr came back bout 20 min later by the face on my leader i knew i was getting bad news. They sat down and told me Andrew refused to listen and would not settle for puppy handeling at all so it was decided Andrew would be career changed. He will be living as my spoiled pet. Our cfr said he would hold out on making it official till after this weekend so Andrew can take the train to sacramento fun day with me.

    Oh, my heart sank. I'm so sorry. I'm sure it was the right decision for Andrew and that he will have a fabulous life as a spoiled rotten pet! I can't say I know how you feel, but I know Andrew will be so happy as your pet!

    There are so many emotions involved when your pup is ccd i think even more when they are ccd at such young age. Im glad hes mine now but sad he i wont get to take him places i wanted to.

    Such a bummer when dogs get CC'd. I'm happy that you get to keep him though! It sounds like he is going to love pet life. Wishing you both good luck!

    We've had two puppies career changed and it was the best thing for them. As tough of a decision as it is, I think that ultimately, the leaders know exactly what they are looking for and can tell who is going to work out and who isn't. But having gone through it twice, I know the devastation when you get the career change news. I'm so sorry that dream won't come true. But he will have an amazing time with you as a pet. 8-)
