Well, I signed Oreo up for school. Our end goal is to compete in agility courses where she will run through tunnels, jump over fences, weave through poles, and run over see-saws !!! .... but first she must master "sit".
She has 3 classmates - from left to right - "Peanut" who is a German Shepard puppy 5 mo old. He's *very* playful - "Frosty" who is a poodle mix, 5 years old, and grumpy. - "Marley" a 6 mo old Golden Retriever mix who was found in a ditch with his sister. His owner wants to train him for hospital and nursing home visits. ...... they are *all* male.
Oreo is the only female. She wasn't sure at all about this. She watched the others play but made sure she was close to me at all times.
Peanut and Marley loved each other right away !
The class lasts an hour and by the time we were finished, Frosty came out of his shell and wanted to join in the fun !
Oreo, still unsure, stayed close to me. She's a mama's girl, what can I say?
Oreo is doing well. She's learned "sit", "look", "leave it" and "take it". Of course, the all-meat treats I give her are great incentives ! We'll see what she learns in next week's class.
