Elephants and Puppys!!!

Tonight we were off to Puppy class #6. Winston, Chris and I make the trip to Petsmart just like normal only to find a different scene. As we are pulling into the Montgomery plaza we begin to see many moving trucks. Per our normal routine, when we get out Winston likes to take care of business. Well as he is taking care of business there are many people wrapping things up at the store next to us. Come to find out Pier 1 had been taping a commercial all day. They had a cute little elephant holding a Pier 1 bag acting like he was going into shop. Once Winston had check out all the people and more....he was back on the trail to Petsmart.



Off to class #6!! Yikes, this is where I had a puppy school freak out.....we only have 1 more class to know EVERYTHING. Only 1 more class to STAY FOR 30 seconds! Oh no, he may not graduate. Okay so I am freaking out just a bit...well the truth is we have 1 more class til graduation.

This weeks tricks:

  • Stay for 20 seconds
  • Greeting new people- this is where he will just sit and greet people, and not jump up
  • Leash walking
  • Shake- where we teach him to shake...he does okay so far

These are the big new tricks. Of course she told us that this is the puppy "teenage" phase. Meaning they will not do tricks even though they know how just to be a pain. So more than anything we are not to get frustrated and keep working. I just hope that in the next week or so we can be ready for graduation!
