The Class Clown!

    There is a local farm we visit every day where Sonny runs & plays with his best dog friends. He has gotten the reputation as the class clown from the other humans due to his many crazy antics and often humorous behavior! Today he managed to have the whole field laughing. A group of us were all sitting on a hill watching the dogs play and sonny came over and snuggled up one of the guys and seemed to lay down to relax. What no one noticed was he had positioned himself perfectly to bury his head in the guys jacket pocket and one by one pick out the treats in there! But he didn't eat every treat- he spit out the ones he didn't like and went digging around for the ones he preferred!!

    oh and did I mention when its time to leave he lays down and plays dead and wont move and will repeat this act every tens steps as we make our way back to the car :eek:

    You go Sonny Boy!! Buddy's the same entertainer at the dog park here. Steals other dogs balls then runs up to the person that threw it and barooos at them full volume with the ball in his mouth. Entertainment brought to you by the Basenji.

    Buddy, Paolo and Dan

    @DexterDex: I checked the link and I think the closest class is a little over an hour away from here. I also talked to someone at Petsmart and they told me that I DID have to bring proof that Dexter had begun his vaccinations… I'd still like to go and watch a class there. By all means, go and see a class there. I think everyone should do this BEFORE they sign up for any dog class. You will get a feel for the trainer, whether or not they have assistants with them, how many dogs they allow in the class, and how much time is used for social interaction before the actual training begins. These things are really important. Looking back at where Kipawa did his first class (he graduated) I would not go back there, even though they are really well thought of. The head trainer there is just not my cup of tea. One of her assistants that did two classes out of the 6 was much better. Also, way too much time was spent on dog socialization prior to the beginning the actual training. Most of the dogs should have first been put into a puppy socialization class, not a training class. Lastly, the trainers website said that there would be a max of 8 dogs there. For our last two classes there were 12 and 14 dogs there. Really chaotic - not enough order in the class - and you could tell the dogs were being impacted by that.

    @tanza: Just an FYI, most of us start letting our pups lure practice even as young as 10 to 12 wks…. granted it is just a short straight away, but gives them some sense of the game. And usually by 7 to 8 months most all B pups can do a full course. Pat, thanks very much for that info. I trust your comments. I know Kipawa would love luring. There is a club that does luring that is about a 40 minute drive from where we are. They don't have any events planned yet - not even 'fun days'. I will keep an eye on their website. http://www.meetup.com/Tri-Cities-Dog-Coursing-AgilityTraining/
