So we had our first session of puupy class last night. Annie was absolutely THE cutest pup there. Although, I will admit, some pretty dawg-gone cute ones there too. She was the smallest out of everyone, but not the youngest. There was a German Shephard the size of a Great Dane and he was only 5 months old (he was the most timid as well, funny)....I hope they have a big yard & big fence!!
The class was all working breed dogs & a couple hearders. So we had: Annie the terrier, Holly who sat next to us who was a border collie, a german shepard, some weird looking hunting dog that was brown, a boxer, a pit-bull/bishon frise mix, and some wierd white dog/hearder.
They all got along & played. Annie's mom was really nervous b/c she was smaller than everyone & wanted to be right in the middle of all the playing. I was so scared she was going to get trampled!
We learned a couple things about terriers:
1. We are going to have our hands full with Annie, according to the trainer
2. She has a very high energy level needing 3 hours of physical activity every day as well as 3 hours of mental exercise everyday :) and she likes to be in the center of everything :)
3. She does not care if she pleases us or not
4. She is a huntin' scavengin' dog & likes to work
Ahhh...the lovely task of training. Actually she be ok. Annie does really well with mental stimulation & exercises, so any kind of trick or training task, she really seems to focus on, unless somebody nearby drops a treat on the floor!
I will say we had the friendliest dog. Not only did she meet all the other dogs, she also proceeded to go meet all their owners as well. She is just too cute puttin her paws on everyone's knees waggin her tail for some attention & lovin! Everyone said awwww when Matt brought her in the training room before class started. Definitely THE cutest.
Enough about puppy class, more to come on that for sure!
