Well last night Charlie received his diploma from Susan Marett (Purely Positive Dog Training) and he received and EXCELLENCE AWARD! (OK, so everyone received an excellence award, but everyone deserved it). The night was bittersweet, he played with his friends Rue and Higgins, and after the class said GOODBYE... hopefully he will have another opportunity to play with those two in the future. They got along well! Everyone in the class did a great job. Charlie has come such a long way since he first came to that class timid and shy, afraid to walk up to Susan. He ended by not only running up to Rue and Higgins, but also to their owners, Polly and Elizabeth! Towards the end of the night he ran up to Susan, he's just becoming a different dog! It's great! Sure, there are things that we will work on, and maybe work on forever (i.e. LEAVE IT, DROP IT, COME) but the more we do it the better he will become! We'll definetly take another class in the future, maybe not at 7:30 (makes getting up at 4:45 pretty hard)... but an earlier class for sure!
Highlights of the evening included receiving a stuffed toy, that he was so thrilled with he couldn't get his mind off of... as well as me spilling the container of treats all over the floor (ugh)... I forgot my camera (OMG)and didn't realize until we were almost there, so pictures were taken last night when we got home. Hey, Polly, Elizabeth, if you happen to be reading this, please send me a picture of your dog one day, so I can include them in this blog! (can send to bstroud1@gmail.com)
So GOOD JOB Charlie and THANK YOU to Susan, and KEEP IN TOUCH to Elizabeth (Higgins),Polly (Rue) & Susan!
