I never had my old dog in classes (there were none), but if I did, I would have wanted one & hung it on the wall. I had loosing ribbons hung up & his 3rd place ribbon up aswell. I was proud of him for just being in the Mutt Competions( I had to stop going cause I was too old (13yrs max, wow that was 10yrs a go, sheesh thats a long time ago)..

I would have asked too, and I enjoy the certificate. It means a lot to me.

We didn't get one when Charlie completed obedience.. we didn't even know you were supposed to get one! O_o

Well, that and HJ missed the last class cause he thought the week before was the last session -_-

Snowy got a certificate for completing the puppy class but not for the beginner class

They explained that years ago they handed them out but it wasn't worth it as most people didn't want one.

well in that case they are the weird ones

so don't feel bad.

Don't feel bad. I've got Autumn's hanging on the wall with her special birthday frisbee she got from purina and the leash she got from class.

Nova has gotten a certificate for puppy class and basic manners class. I don't remember if Mandy got one because it was 7 years ago.

When I first went to classes I loved to get the certificates but after a few classes I stopped taking them just because after a while it didn't really matter to me if I got one all that mattered was that my dog finished the class. Now the only certificates that I collect are the dogs agility titles.

The training centre that I work at has certificates for every graduating class, the only time people don't get one is if they ask us not to give them one, we also occasionally give out banadanas or cookies as well.

Lacey has two from Petsmart. One was uh, the middle level and one was advanced. I keep them in her scrapbook. I'd enjoy the one they send you and not worry that they made it special.

Thanks guys, now I don't feel so odd anymore.
I'll still fell a little weird when I walk into class this Sat. I'm sure they will all be pointing & talking about how I wanted a certificate. lol The instructor has a big sense of humor & likes to poke fun.
