What can I say? I'm boastful...but I sure am proud of my little guy.
Anywho, today was our last day of puppy class and for the last day we had a series of mini-contests. My little Dudley made me so proud
While we did not place in the agility contest (refused to go through the open tunnel but went through the collapse tunnel with no problem--go figure),
he placed second in staying in a down position with 12.5 seconds. Second in come with 2.5 seconds (which I see as a great feat because he has the shortest legs out of the group by far and he had to run across a very long room)
and drum roll please.....
In the sit/stay contest he placed first with a 56 second sit! I was very impressed and shocked to tell you the truth because when we had practiced before, he would only sit for 12 seconds at most.
Overall, I think this class was very beneficial. Dudley no longer puffs up at all the dogs there, doesn't bark nearly as much, doesn't jump on anyone who comes to greet him, and overall is just a better behaved dog. I can't wait to enroll him in either an agility or advanced obedience course in a few months--the trainers suggested to enroll in these at about 8 months.
Just thought I'd share my enthusiasm with you great folks
