Did Someone Say Treat??

It’s been such a fun week for the trainers and the dogs we get to play with! Yesterday was full of fun with the puppy and level 1 obedience classes. Gracie the Westie, Calabash the American Bulldog, Sherman the Corgie, Tucker the Wheaton, and Maverick the Golden were great example dogs. They got to show all the other kids how its done. Their class mates were no slouches either and caught on quick!

The Canine Good Citizen/Level 2 obedience students were showing off their skills. They even got to practice a lot of off leash come when called. What a group! They take their test next week and I have no doubt they are going to ACE it! The best moments were Sharkey the Golden mix trying to seduce all his fellow class mates with his swagger while walking by, Parker the Border Collie running to the wrong Mommy during come when called (“she had better treats!” he said), & Rocket the Dalmation being brave when strangers walked behind him. Max the Aussie and Coal the Poodle are loosening up and having a ball in class. And Toby the mini Aussie was still sulking when he left because I just don’t pay him enough attention when I am working with other dogs!

Let’s not forget about all the fun we got to have in the play yard training dogs. I went out to work with Shiloh the Black Lab puppy and Mochi the Sheepdog. Jenny and Julia were already out there with Chezzy the Irish Setter, Junie the Golden and Sadie the Border Collie. We got to do group sit/stays in the play yard. That’s always fun because we get extra volunteers to join in. Today Smokey the Wheaton, and Lucky the Golden joined in just for fun. The group all sat when asked and stayed while we walked away and then released them. A big celebration then erupts as we dole out kisses for the rewards. Abby and Spencer the Boston Terriers wanted to do their part and act as the distraction, so they kept running through the group, trying to incite a riot! Silly kids, nothing can distract these superstars!

Then off I went for a walk around the Wags Neighborhood with Gabby (otherwise known and Gabbity- Gabbity-Goooo!) the Chocolate Lab. Jenny and Julia got to Play with Corbie the Poodle and Coco the Cairn Terrier. And right before lunch, there is nothing like an agility party with Max the Basenji, and Maddie and Jane (the Aussie sisters).

That’s not to mention all the fun we get to participate in when we have a few minutes to play in the daycare just having fun. A big thanks to all of you for letting us play with and take care of your furry family. We truly do have the best job in the world!
