Summer school!
We went last night up to Oklahoma City for Jack and Rupert's first class together. We only have about 2 more puppy classes at Petsmart, and wanted something more, that Rupert could go to also. We found a school in OKC called PositivelyCanine, and it is run by two women who have been training dogs for many years. We had our first class with them last night.
The classes are in a much bigger area than the small training area at Petsmart. I like that a lot. There were five other dogs in the class, and we each had plenty of room between us and other dogs.
It was very good; both women are very experienced and good with dogs, and gave good tips on all kinds of stuff. Loose leash walking, which has been a big challenge, will hopefully go better as we put into practice the small things they showed us.
It was fun, and also cute, as we each had to take a turn going out to the middle of the room and practicing leash walking individually. When Faye and Rupert left their seats beside Jack and me to go to the middle of the room, Jack really wanted to go with them. Or wanted them not to go. He and Rupert sat very close together, and at times leaned against each other. It was nice to see. They get along OK, but so far, it has seemed that Jack wants to be friends with Rupert more than Rupert wants to be friends with him. But I think eventually that will change.
Hope everything is good with all of you. We're into the full-blown hot and humid days here; I long for the mountains.
