Tonight was the final night of Puppy School and our puppies were FANTASTIC! I'm sure they are going to be very sad that puppy school is over. They both seemed to really enjoy getting their "learn on" with the other doggies at school. Andy and I will be happy that the bad influence dogs will not be teaching them how to eat uncooked chicken and tear through the trash!
In order to graduate each dog had to pass a final exam. Each dog had to learn a new trick to perform in front of all the other doggies, one that was NOT taught in class. Needless to say we had a fine time coming up with those at the last minute (being in Canada is not conducive to doggie training). Dingo learned how to "Speak" right before class. Dakota did a beg/up position with the best though she doesn't seem to like the linoleum floors for sitting.
Andy and Dakota!
Both dogs managed to do their final exams of a 30 second sit stay, loose leash walk, and even ignoring a special good smelling treat. I was worried about the Dingo leaving the food alone.....But she managed to ignore it just so long as I fed her the other good smelling treats. Dakota seemed to really do well with the sit/stay as long as she was on a carpet. Dakota and Dingo performed their new skills so well that people even called them each "star" pupils.
Lisa and Dingo (Nice Hair - UGH!)
Andy and I are both very proud of our super beagle and beaglet dogs! Think we are ready for the Intermediate Classes?
