You and Scarlett will enjoy the class - and it already sounds like you have a lot of the basics going very, very well. 🙂 I found the part of the class I didn't like was the first 10 minutes where all dogs were allowed off leash to socialize. With FoPaws puppies being so well socialized, I found that first 10 minutes just wound up Kipawa so much, with all the playing! Then, it took me a good 10 minutes to calm him down enough to really work well in the class. The good news is that I am seeing as Kipawa ages and becomes more respectful he doesn't need to go wild when he first meets a new dog. I also think that not taking him to the play area off leash park is also helping him.
Part 2 - Kipawa pictures

Yesterday we took a lovely walk in an area near us called the North 40. Kipawa did tons of running - such a happy boy. Tomorrow we go lure racing practicing. I'll post pictures of that.
The North 40 was home to the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals (RCCS), personnel who were active in Signals Intelligence (SigInt) during and following WW2. The personnel would intercept and listen to Russian conversations, passing it on to the Americans. Here's a link for any of you historians out there: http://www.troywoodintarsia.com/vws/vws.htm
It's now an off leash park. The roads are still there (families of those who worked there lived there as well). It was such a secretive area that even though I grew up in Vancouver Canada, and it was about a 20 minute drive from where we lived, I had never heard of it before. Now it's about a 5 minute drive from our home.
