Puppy Classes

Tonight we went to our first puppy class, poor sophie was the tiniest dog there and the youngest. She spent most of the time hiding under my chair, huddled in her jumper. I don't think the teacher really appreciates just how tiny and short haired IG's are, I got the impression that she just thought I was treating her like a little doll.

We did learn what's the best action to take when sophie starts to sink her teeth in to you.........scream very loudly at her!!!

So hopefully next week she will be a bit more excited to be there and less frightened around all the other much bigger dogs. Breeze the rottie looked like she thought sophie was a walking titbit (we'll stay on the other side of the room)

Homework is to practice our sit and down commands

She sounds adorable Jo :) Love that she'd trying to eat the goldfish! LOL Good luck with the training - hopefully the Rottie will decide she's not worth the effort

Lovely to find your blog and to see how Sophie is doing. Good to hear that puppy class was OK but watch out for that Rottie. Hope Poppy is coming to terms with it all now - must be a big change for her.
