Clever Puppy!

[Dizzychick]

Well last night was our first Puppy Foundation Training Class (1st of 6 weeks) and Lily was a little star. I has to carry her as she doesn't have her second jabs till next week, and she shook in my arms all the way. When we walked in to be confronted by a 5 month old monster of a german shepherd pup, a border collie pup, JR x springer pup, chihahhua (?) pup and a pug, she hid straight under my chair and refused to come out - even for a piece of cheese! Anyway within 20 mins she was boxing with the shepherd and teasing the JR x - I was in hysterics! She was so brave, she kept jumping on him and then running away as if to say 'can't catch me'! It was wonderful to see her so brave and having fun!

By the end of the class she was listening to her name, sitting and walking up and down really nicely, despite the distractions, even though it was her first time on the lead - thanks to a few treats and a great trainer! I was so proud!

We were there for over an hour and she zonked out with exhaustion on my lap when we got home and slept like a log - full of beans again this morning!

Clever puppy indeed ... a good trainer who allows off lead play is the very best way to start with youngsters :thumbsup:

hee hee shouldn't laugh really but we have 4 pugs that live down the road from us and my dog just barks at them whenever we see them :wacko: - it's so embarassing that I have to cross the road when we see them coming! He also knows exactly where they live as he starts to pull on the lead when we get near to their house to see if they are in the garden so he can jump up at the wall to look at them :clown:

I LOVE what you said about the pugs!! I'm sure they are lovely little things but they do look odd and the fact that your whippets are fascinated with them is hysterical!! Really made me laugh!!

Lily and I have been doing our homework so hoping for top marks next lesson. We've just got back from the garden centre where I carried Lily round and she even had a little nibble of my scone. Lots of people came to say hello and give her a stroke and she chose her own toy from the pet place. I'm so happy with how chilled out she was. She just sat in my arms with her paws crossed like an elegant little lady in her sedan chair!
