Puzzle's Training

After finally dragging myself out of bed, i might as well say how puzzle was at training last night

The trainer was very pleased with puzzle and so was i, it was her first official training class. It went really well, she was so well behaved. next week she is going in the next class up as she is too advanced for all of this basic puppy stuff ( said the trainer) which i am very pleased about.

She done some lovely heelwork, Watch me's ( no need to command that, she was doing all the time anyway), short sit stay, on lead recall, Cone heelwork and she also done a nighttime road walk (with barley's class).

We are working on her stays, she managed 1 minute last night, so we are just going to keep building on this. The trainer loved her heelwork, she also said that if she keeps up like this then we could do competitive obedience with her. The trainer really liked the fact that i was using a clicker with her. There was 4 other puppies in the class, 2 blue roan cocker spaniels, 1 GSD x husky and 1 Chihuahua, she was the second biggest of the group as the GSD x husky was bigger than her, but more noisy.

1st show

Puzzle went to her first show today 

She was sooooooooooo good, she behaved perfectly, some pulling on the lead but not much, she played with the agility tunnels a few times and is getting tunnel already. 

She was entered in the show for 3 classes, Best pedigree, Most appealing eyes and the dog the judge would like to take home. She got 1st in best pedigree and 2nd in the dog the judge would like to take home. Then she won best in show overall, so i am very pleased with her, she done herself proud. She behaved very well for the judge, she let her look at her teeth and feel all over her, she also trotted nicely and paid constant attention to me. 

Barley also got 1st in most handsome dog and 3rd in the dog the judge would like to take home.
