Teasel attended her first puppy class tonight, we were so so nervous :unsure: we almost chickened out and left it until next week as we'd both had such bad days in work but at the last minute we jumped in the car and headed off
We arrived to an empty car park as we'd got there 15 minutes early eventually a lady turned up with a Blue Merle Border Collie who was a bit mad (the collie not the lady )
Just as we were getting worried that it was a VERY!! small class :unsure: a whole host of puppies started arriving :thumbsup: so we had Merlin the collie, Drummer the black Lab, Oscar the Border Terrier, Lottie the Miniature Yorkshire Terrier, Mabel the Springer Spaniel, Floyd the English Bull Terrier and a wee little Whippet named Teasel
So we all stood in a line with Teasel and me last in line, one by one we had to walk around the hall trying to get our dogs to walk to heel :unsure: At this point I was quite nervous as we havn't done any heel work
As we were last in line we got to watch everyone else and get more and more nervous :unsure: I shouldn't have been nervous though as she was an absolute angel o and trotted around like she'd been born to it
After a few more turns around the hall and some sit and stays the final excercise was recall where the trainer held the lead while you ran away calling your dog then when it got to you try to make them sit :unsure:
Not only did she come flying straight to me she sat instantly as well o
We can't believe how well she did so after being so nervous about it tonight we now can't wait until next week
Cheers
Steve
