In my experience, the best part about classes is the socializing - for both the dogs and the humans! We would learn 2-4 new things, then go home and work on them and report back the next week. At first Loki never learned anything IN class, we always had to go home and do it 400 times. After about his 2nd round of classes he started picking things up IN class and we didn't even really practice at home. We haven't been to a class in months but I could yell "finish!" right now and he'd come over and sit next to me. It's so fun to be able to communicate with them.
You will LOVE class. It's nice to hear there are other Yorkies!! We were always in with big dogs and the occasional poodle, westie or chi. Never another Yorkie. Have FUN and if you need help, there are a few of us on here who have done a lot of training so don't be shy!! |
