Macy has been in the puppy headstart for 5 weeks now. Everything is going great she has learned all kinds of commands. So far she knows how to sit, stay, lay down, settle, come here, and she learned how to walk on a leash. One thing we are still working on is her barking. She likes to bark at everyone sometimes it is so embarassing. She is the only one in class who likes to bark. We really like the class it is a fun way for me and Macy to bond.

Wonderful update! I id the puppy class with both my previous dogs when they were puppies and it is a great way to bond, as you say. And teaching manners at an early age (like with human kids) is really helpful when they become adults.

Is there another way to keep them from barking. The teacher told us to get a spray bottle filled with water and everytime she would bark spray her with the bottle. I've tried it a couple of times and it works sometimes, but not all the time.
