Hey Everyone. I just wanted to share my wonderful experience with everyone! As some of you know my puppy was rescued and had been abused, consequently he is quite afraid of people. Tonight (Thursday) was the first night of our "Puppy Socialization Classes." It was wonderful!! There are new dogs and new people every week. Tonight there was my 14 week old Aussi, a 8 week old rottie mix and a 8 month old German Shepard. The pups play together and are off leash the entire time. The pups have to come to each person in the room and are rewarded with a treat. You get a manual written by the vet as well as "the ultimate puppy toolkit" (Which is WONDERFUL! ultimatepuppy.com). We talk about different issues such as chewing, being posessive of things and jumping. Each week there are three different topics, 1 new game and 1 new activity (the activity tonight was costumes so puppies can get used to people with different things on.) I am so pleased that I found these classes before obedience starts and also extactic that by the end of the class Cochise was going to everyone in the room!!! I just had to share my excitement with everyone. I will hopefully have some updated pics of Cochise as well, he is 31 lbs and 14 weeks!
