Chipper graduated! Pics & Video

Well Chipper's last day of obedience class was last night. He's still learning a few things (like how NOT to jump on people :rolleyes: ) but overall he knows sit, down, stay, recalls, and leave it pretty well. I plan to enroll him in the level two session that starts in March. At the end of that class, they get to take a Good Canine Citizen test. Been meaning to have Kia tested, but at least I'll have one down.. if he passes. :o

Two videos of practicing recall w/ the leave it command (if needed). Each dog did it three times in a row. The instructor was trying to distract the dogs. First she tried a squeaky toy.

Last two times she tried treats. Second time, didn't phase him.... Third time...well.... we still need to work on that when it comes to food distractions. ;)

Well, when we adopted him they sent him home with one on and he didn't have a problem with it.

The one he's wearing is a little heavier (it's his seat belt harness), so when it arrived, I put it on him right away.

We just let him wear it around the house for short periods of time to get him used to it and gave him treats if he left it alone.

I watched the videos yesterday, and evertime I tried to comment I got interupted. Way to go Chipper! I think you did great! Does cuteness count? ;)

a little late but my wishes are the same!
Congratulations! :)

Way to go Chipper! I love that dog. :D
