ScarletRose: well,the MAIN reson of putting him into the first class is to socialize him as much as I can.He needs to learn to be around other animals and people..he is going to be about 120 pounds so he needs to be able to let people come up to him..I need to make sure he can do that too...his looks alone will intimaidate poeple,he doesn't have to be unsocial to boot.Then I would like to get him into some agility when he is a bit olderbut in order to do THAT,he needs at least 3 courses of obidience.This is all to better him :)
