Sophie goes to school Yep, Sophie is officially enrolled in doggie school! She is 15 months old with some training we began early on and already knows her sit & stay with hand signals or a verbal command. The class is offered by a private trainer (our groomer) and has 11 dogs and runs for 6 weeks. It was only $45.00 so what the heck! She is easily distracted by other dogs and people so this should be fun:rolleyes:. That's something I would like her to overcome so she can greet people without loving them to death:p. She is super smart (of course she is ;)) so I hope she will take to it. Please wish us luck! |
Good luck! Since our babies are so smart, I'm sure she will do just fine!!! :) |
Thanks! I hope so. I want to start her in agility training and a basic training class is recommended first. We leave for our first class in a half hour.:) |
Oh, you'll have to let us know how it goes! |
That sounds like so much fun! :) Let us know when she graduates...hope she's not a drop out! LOL ;) |
Yay, awesome. Good luck! |
Go Sophie!!! Yea!!! I know that Sophie will do FABULOUS! After all, she's a Sophie;) |
Thanks for all your warm wishes :) Sophie was a big hit in class last night. Everybody loved her excitement as she wagged her little tail a mile a minute and went up to each dog and tried to kiss them.:p The first night was orientation and we were given homework for next week. Sophie already knew how to sit & stay and although it was hard with the distractions of all the new people and dogs she managed to focus long enough to pull it off to a round of applause:D. This week we are working on her lay down command and off command. Our instructor is a trainer for service dogs with Paws for a Cause and she brought her 7 mo. old lab in training for demonstrations. The class was a lot of fun for both of us. If Sophie can get it all down in the next 6 weeks we can start agility training with the same instructor! Yay Team Sophie:D! |
Having your puppy in school will do both of you a world of good. In just 6 short weeks you will see a different puppy, the social skills will be the most noticeable. Starr has attended 3 different schools and after each class we can see the difference in her. Have jun in class. |
Happy to hear Sophie enjoyed her first day at sch:):thumbup: $45 is a steal! I schedule appt with a dog trainer for Dior on the 22nd for her leash pulling and barking and we are paying $70 bucks a session (hr long). She graduated puppy sch at Petsmart in 2007 and still remembers everything except the pulling on the leash:rolleyes: |
