 nervous about obedience classes
I decided to sign up Lexi for obedience classes, more for the socialization than anything else. She will soon be 6 months old and doesn't have a lot of interaction with dogs besides our neighbors. One has a bichon the other a golden retriever. She will bark and growl and go crazy when they are out in the yard. She is not scared of them, she tries to run towards them. I took Lexi to the trainers house to see how she is with her 4 large dogs and she did great. She barked for a little bit, but never growled. She sniffed them and let them sniff her. Of course they are trained to be calm and relaxed around all dogs so that I'm that helped, but I don't understand why she acts the way she does around the neighbor dogs. Both of the dogs are calm and don't even bark at her. So I am nervous about how she will be with other puppies in the obedience class. Still have a couple weeks until class starts so I will be crossing my fingers all goes well. |
