Yoshi had a long training class today. We finally met our classmates, an adorable bark prone Corgi named Sparrow, and a very sweet labradoodle named Dexter. We had class yesterday too, since Yoshi was sick last week with her ear infection and we missed it. We just went over loose leash walking and come and sit though. Todayyyy was a lot. We did down, which was hard for Yoshi since she got bored easily and didn’t like the Charlee Bears THAT much. We switched to a different treat though that she loved, so those helped, so I picked up a bag of those for the things she’ll struggle with. We did take it and leave it, which she picked up on the second try and did very good on. She still isn’t very socialized, so we tried to have her sit while strangers came to pet her and she was distracted the entire time, and scared some of the time, so we have to work on that.

We’re packing right now and she keeps rolling into me in her sleep and it’s cute. I really like our trainer and they’re going to schedule an intermediate class right after our puppy class graduates the first weekend in March, but I’m out of town for two weekends in March, plus we’re getting her fixed the 3rd weekend so we probably will have to wait til April.

She’s doing really well though. The biggest thing is keeping her attention, so that’s our first priortity. And the socialization. Woo.
