Oz graduated from Obedience class, Thurs Night. Yeah! Well it’s not really pass or fail. Everybody passes, but it still feels like an accomplishment. At the end of the class we had to take our dog through an obstacle course with everybody watching. Argh! I was really nervous, but I had a talk with Oz before it was our turn about not embarrassing me too bad and he did really great. He sailed over jumps; stayed in a sit on one side of a gate, until I called him through it, to me; laid down inside a hoop; heeled next to me while walking on ladders and lattice; sat next to a liver treat without trying to eat it; and did one spectacular spin at the end. The only obstacle we had trouble with was sitting on a box. We heeled up to it and with one step he was past the box. It took us a couple of tries, but he finally sat on the box for me, probably wondering at the silliness of what humans ask of dogs. Ah well wait'll he sees what he's got to do for dog agility class, which we're going to do next.
