Week 3

We had a great training class on Saturday.  I got there 30 minutes early, and Sandy (trainer) had her dog with her - a 6 year old yellow lab named Grady.  So Maddie had her first play date.  I was a little nervous, as she can be a bit reactive with other dogs, but Grady was very patient, and they just had a blast.  She plays a bit rough, so no playing with the puppies in class yet.  I'm going to go early for the rest of the classes so she can get some private time with the trainers and Grady.

This week we're working on leash walking.  I have to learn to be persistent, consistent and patient.   She has to learn not to pull.  Should be an interesting week.

Here's some shots of her in one of her favorite positions.  Loves to lie on her back with her feet in the air, or curled up on the chair with me.



I love this shot of her....

  1. She and Murph would do well cause he likes to play rough - learned that at the doggie day care!
    I think you have the harder learning job.

  2. Well, who was the better student? You or Maddie?
