I have a trainer coming to the house but not for two weeks. She wont be helping much with socialization, so I figured it wouldnt hurt to go to the 6 week course at the local petco. I've read enough to know what I dont want or agree with, so I'm not too worried about a bad instructor.
Anyway, they didnt tell me not to bring my pet to the first class, but I didnt ask because my brother had to return home to get his dog when he went here for the first time, so I assumed I should bring her. This instructor is different though, and he did not want the dogs during the first class, but I had mine with me. It turns out he is pretty much in line with my way of thinking and I like him.
Funny part is Phoebe's classmate is going to be a 75lb 10 month old lab. So much for socialization. But tonight it was just 3 humans and Phoebe and I wondered how she was going to be for 2 hours, Holli would never have sat that long and I assumed being a puppy this one would be worse. She was a complete angel!
We were listening to this man talk for over 2 hours and she slept most of the time and did not fuss one bit. At one point he looked over at me to ask what kind of special attention we might want or problems we are having and she was passed out cold - everyone just laughed.
Now of course she is a holy terror burning up some of that stored energy trying to chew my computer to get my attention
Just thought I'd share
