I have been taking Trinity to Level 1 Obedience Class for the past 2 months. I was doing it not for the sit/stay stuff, but because I thought it would be good practice for her to learn to focus on me, even when other dogs are around. The class was great and we really enjoyed the other families and dogs (although always from a distance). Last night was graduation. Trinity and Ace (a pug/beagle mix) had a friendly competition for Top Dog. They are both very food motivated, so getting them to do stuff for treats was pretty easy. T won the "down/stay" competition, but Ace won the "puppy pushups" (sit/down/sit/down), but I didn't have my treat ready, so I think she could have won that one, too. T also had the best "come" (I could go all the way across the field and she'd come flying like a rocket). All in all, Trinity did great at class and I really do think she was the best one. :) To celebrate her graduation, after class I ran an errand at the very swanky Domain shopping center, and I took her with me. She walked calmly down the sidewalks with me, and she even went in a couple of the stores with me. I was very proud of her. She got some extra kibble for dinner when we got home. I'm looking forward to taking her out and about more often to keep her in practice.
