Puppy class is getting hard. Over the past two weeks we have been working on "Stay". Well, the first week we pretty much just started to learn the behavior and the command. Apparently, there are 3 Ds in training. They are Duration, Distance and Distraction. So, week #1 we learned the "Stay" and worked on Duration. Week #2 we began working on "Stay" with Distance. Well, tonight... we began working on "Stay" with Distraction. Our trainer, Bridgett, wanted to push me to see what I was capable of so we began putting all of it together. I did 2 sit stays of a minute each. Mommy stood about 10 feet in front of me and another dog was being walked in between Mommy and I. It was tough but I did it.
We also began working on heeling OFF LEASH! We were inside so it was ok for me to be off leash. Well, we didn't work on that for too long but that was a good thing because I was getting tired. I got to run in class tonight too when we were practicing recalls. Mommy called my name so I looked at her. She said, "Come" and I took off running with my leash dragging behind me. I sat in front of her like a young gentleman and she gave me lots of praise and good rubs. Praise is one of my favorite rewards.
Tonight was a lot of work but I had a good time. Mommy will help me with my homework so I will be ready for next week.
