More playtime with the other puppies was much enjoyed by Danny, in fact when we arrived ( and I got him to relieve ALL of himself), he couldn't wait to get inside. Quite the social butterfly my boy.:LAUGH:
At one point when the Burmie, who I found out was more than a month older than Danny was getting a bit to 'heavy' for Danny I just scooped Danny up and moved him away from the very large puppy. He teacher looked very surprised, so I just said, "Just too much of a weight difference I think"....... I have no problem in doing anything that I think needs to be done to protect my dogs.:WINK:
The Burmie's owner ( & the teacher) then steered her girl towards playing with the bigger pups. Two more pups were added to the class, one being another Burmese Mnt. dog.
We practiced the sits, downs and stands, he is very good at those, we do a lot of them at home.
His recall was fantastic! It was the farthest he has ever been called, and he came in a direct line to me from across the room, and didn't stop to say hello or inspect any of the treats that people had left on the floor, Danny arrived close in, with a straight sit without having to being told!+CLAPPING+ I was so proud of him!
Our newest lesson was to teach the dogs to do the 'finish'. Which surprised me as I had only associated it with the Ob ring, not puppy k.
We didn't do the heeling until the end of the class, and he was pooped by then, but that's ok, I know that he can do it, most of the time.
When he pulls on the leash, and stops, he gets a treat, and if he looks at me, he get his treat, the "yes" and lots of praise. With so many friends to play with it's hard being the most interesting thing in the world to your puppy. I had brought poached chicken breast pieces to help with my attraction. :LAUGH:
After the class ended the teacher took one of her dogs, a Pomeranian out of his kennel and showed us some of his tricks. He bows when she tells him to take one, sneezes on command, and this trick was sooo cute!
The Pom stands, and when she says in a hushed voice, you are a "Super Star".....the dog stretches out while standing and lift his one back leg. Hope I am describing it correctly, it was very sweet.
Oh, and as we were putting on our coats to leave, 3 pups peed on the floor, Wee D being one of them. But after all, class ended at 9pm, and it was now 9:20!:EEK:
