TRAINING DAY 3 OR 4

Four I think.
Last week, as you may remember, little Doc was traumatized by "puppy playtime" during which a dervish Terrier tried to wrap him in a leash and then a German Shepherd got close enough to eat him. So altho I wasn't real thrilled with the situation I knew he had to go back just to make sure he understood that not every group situation was going to be made up of insane little Terrier puppies or Giant German Shepherds.

                                                      Poor little me.

So we got there a little early because I planned on getting lost again but I didn't.
And the first dog we met was a little poodle who was thrilled at seeing a black dog and so they sniffed and wagged and then the big dogs started coming out and THEY sniffed and wagged and everything was fine again.

I learned that halfway through the hour-long class,Doc is finished.
He did this to me last time, but I think he was so distressed by the  "Playtime" incident that I thought that was what made him stop  paying attention.

But this time I thought about it. Class is at 7:15 at night, about the time my dogs are usually starting to slow down. They get up about 5 in the morning and spend the bulk of the day playing. Now it's dark out and I am expecting this 13 wk old puppy to pay attention and work.

So we left. We missed the agility stuff. Without it we won't "graduate". I don't think we care. I'm not real sure, but I think at this point Doc would rather take a nap.
I know I would....
