Nebo's is an 8 week basic obedience class.
Week 1: No dogs allowed the first day of class....just an intro...
Week 2: The other trainer was there instead of our normal one. I don't think she really likes huskies. Of course, Nebo was not helping. He was incredibly hyper and overactive...he wouldn't hold still....very, very, very jumpy and excited! I think he was thinking it was like the puppy class where the dogs were able to play together...because that's ALL he wanted to do! He was used as an example a few times. The trainer was showing how to stop a dog from jumping up...boy did she choose the right dog! He knew she had a treat in her hand and just couldn't figure out what she wanted him to do to get it! No focus on me. I'm just that thing on the end of the leash making noises at him..lol![]()
Week 3: After his hyper problem last time, I decided to wear him out first! When I got home from work we played fetch in the back yard until he was panting and walking with the ball back to me instead of running. This week was loose-leash walking. He really is good at this at home, but not at Petsmart or any place excited. He wasn't too bad though until he saw the trainer and she said "Hi Nebo!" lol....paws scrambling all over the slick floors....I'm supposed to be teaching him some of the advanced stuff, so we worked on "stand" while the others worked on "down." He was actually quite good and was able to focus on me (the clicker helps!) We did loose leash walking and "sit" down the isles, and he is great until he sees another dog. I tried to so a little socialization with another dog at the end, but when he goes up to see a dog, it's like "HI! LET ME JUMP ON YOUR HEAD!!" He wants to play with every dog he sees, and gets waaay to excited about it....going to have to work on that, though I'm not sure how....
