Outdoors obedience: Tough, tough, tough

Today was humiliation day for Eddie. We started an obedience class called Street Smarts. The idea is to get them to recognize their basic commands outside.
We met in a strange parking lot (most of the fields still are wet and snowy) and went through our routines with planes flying overhead, cars driving by and hard cement to sit and lay on.
It's a good thing we just had this instructor in an indoor class because Eddie was pretty rough. He starts out fine, but the noises gradually build up on him. After 15-20 minutes, he's mentally exhausted.
Then I came home and took the trio on their regular morning walk. There's still lots of snow, but the good news is there's also lots of grass. And today is beautifully sunny. It's melting like crazy. A few pics from today:

 | Jack looks like Eddie's shadow, just like my Bailey following Maggie anywhere and everywhere.:rolleyes: |

| |  Oh, yeah. Jack doesn't let Eddie get too far away because that would mean he wouldn't be able to pee everywhere his big brother does. |
