Training Class

Today I practised walking on a loose lead. I can do it really well now and I have learnt not to pull Mum when she is walking beside me. Then we had to practice weaving in and out of cones. I liked doing it very much especially when Mum went fast and we had to run in and out of the cones. Some of the other dogs kept running when they’d finished running in and out of the cones but I didn’t. I sat down nicely and waited for my treat – when I'm really good in class, Mum gives me treats, I heard her say to Dad that they weren't really extra treats but part of my normal food
because if they give me too many treats on top of my food I'd start to get tubby – but they’re still yummy treats to me.
After the cones we had to do something really weird. We had to practice Mum meeting an old friend with a dog and chatting to her and me having to sit still and not jumping up to say hello. Later when I went to see my next door neighbour, Simon, who is very poorly I didn’t jump up. I just gave his hand a lick.
