Puppy Training

Zoey started her Puppy Training on Saturday. It is a 8 week course every Saturday at 10am. The 1st week she learned "watch me". She is a very smart dog! And I'm not being biased either... Other people have said so too.

We decided on Puppy Training because they also teach the dog using hand signals which is very important because the dog might not always be able to hear you and some dogs go deaf. Next week we are learning the Sit command with only hand signals.

Week 2 we learned sit without saying the word sit. I thought this was going to be difficult but it wasn't... She did it right away and is still doing it every time we use the hand signal. She is such a little smartie!

Week 3 was a big week. She learned "take it" & "leave it", "drop it", "wait" and "down". She is very good at leaving it but then does not want to take it. Hmmm... When Casey and his owner was here, Casey's owner taught her "up" & "round about". So many tricks! And we are not even half way... I do not know what week 4 holds for us, but because we are out of town, we will go early week 5 and catch up!

Week 4&5:
Week 4 was come & sit stay. We've been working on "come" with Zoey since before we took her to training.
Week 5 was reinforcing come & wait. The other dogs did down-stay, while Zoey learned sit-stay from the week she missed.

Zoey Gradutaed from Puppy training on the May long weekend!
