It was awful...no it was horrendous. We have worked pretty faithfully with Malone on heeling and staying these past couple of weeks and he was even getting pretty good at it. Not that anybody would *EVER* guess. *sigh*
So we had puppy class tonight. He did OK (yes, only OK) at the beginning and soon degraded to ignoring anything I said. So I hand him over to Mark (he tends to listen to Mark a tad bit better). Mark can't even make him behave. He keeps going in opposite directions and jumping up as soon as he sits. And at the end of class we were working on heeling again, and he just takes off pell-mell running in circles as far as the leash would allow him, and as fast as he could.
I don't know *what* it was...but it was pretty discouraging. I hope it's just a case of having too much pent up energy (we only got to run around about 15 minutes before it was time to leave for class). I feel like such a bad mommy.
