| Finished puppy classes today :) I am so proud of Penny! She graduated her first puppy class today at Petsmart. Now we cant wait for the next class to begin in January It was so cute cause they gave us a little certificate/diploma thingy and a bumper sticker that says "My puppy has class"! LOL |

| Yes! I highly recommend the puppy classes at Petsmart. The trainer was very patient and paid a lot of attention to each dog in the class. Some of the things we learned are sit, stay, down, push up (sit, down, sit), spin, paw/shake, touch (this is penny's favorite trick), watch me, roll over, and leave it. They also go over topics like what to do about aggressive behavior, potty training, and nutrition. Sometimes it was frustrating because Penny would have MAJOR A.D.D in the class sometimes and the instructor gave me a great idea which I never thought of before. He said, "Train her in different places. Not just different places in your house but train her outside and bring her to different pet stores and train her there too." Needless to say his advice worked like a charm! |

| Did your puppy learn to do all of those tricks? That is really good. How old is your furbaby? I didn't realize they taught them all of that. I will have to sign Louis up. What does the next class teach? CONGRATS to you both! |

| Sure we went to the Petsmart on LakeCook rd. and Old Skokie rd. in I think Northbrook or Highland Park. Our trainer was Eric. He's the best! |

| Hehe yeah she's pretty good at those tricks. Penny will be 8 months on Dec 8th. The only thing I know the next class teaches is heel, not sure about the other tricks. Be sure to sign up your pup will love it cause they get to play with other dogs and you will love it cause your pup will be smart hehe |
