First night



Oh did we have fun last night - my new class is going to be a good one. While technically a puppy class, I do have two older dogs. A papillion and a chihuahua both with major socialization issues. We will work on those.



The other dogs include two golden retriever puppies, a very handsome boxer baby, a perfect little sheltie, a most adorable long hair black dauschund and miniature bull terrier. 8 dogs. Not bad.



In their first class I talk quite a little bit.I always say sorry for that - but it gives the people some time to calm down - they are always nervous and it lets the puppies calm down too.
I try to find out some of their issues - we are all having housebreaking issues, it seems so I'll be touching on that a lot.
We allowed the puppies to socialize some, and did a few basic things. Watch me - sit, one come game, some problem solving.
I'll be chatting more about my goals for this class and their goals more in my next post.
