I forgot to add, I take Lola to parties at a local pet store so I know how she is with other dogs.
She's super excited when she first meets them, wants to lick them, jump all over, rolls on her back, etc. After she's done she calms down and will focus on me.
She's the same way with people OMG NEW PERSON!! NEW PERSON!!! AHHHHHHH I LOVE YOU!!! then she just wants me, she'll turn around and put her head on my shoulder or go between my ankles, like you're dismissed. Or she'll see the next person she wants to greet.

Our pups went to training at out Community Center but the trainer was a former PetSmart trainer. They did great. They learned sit, come, stay (they learned stay so well I could walk clear across a gymnasium with my back turned and they wouldn't budge until i called them), leave it, drop it, leash walking, walking through crowds of dogs and more. It was well worth it. We were in a puppy class. Have fun! |
That's great that the classes worked so well.
I wish I had an option other than petsmart, but the only other places I can find are a lot more money ($800, it's a longer program, but still).
