5 classes consisting of one hour a week for 5 consecutive weeks yielded this:
First thought was to frame it so that we could always look and celebrate. But then we thought, "Naw, Meli earned it, so let's just give it to her. she's now so well trained, she'll take good care of it."
Below some of Meli's classmates and their humans:
The class usually begins with all pups off leash and commanded to "go play."
Tracy had a handful of treats and instantly became the main attraction.
Another part of training is called "cradling" and indeed even these big Newfie babies love it. These two are actually younger than Meli.
Carter has a big support group. Human Mom is just off camera on the left. Carter is quite excitable and needed a combined effort to manage the "cradle".
Meli learns to walk!
Oh yes, remember above that we decided to give Meli her diploma
Well...
We did!
Friend Gwen said that puppy training classes are really for training the humans. I guess we need more training....
Good girl Meli, you're a good girl!
