OK, so I'm horrible at updating this already. Between work & school all my free time is spent either sleeping or with Muffin. I don't even watch TV anymore!... but that's ok bc TrueBlood is over until the summer. LOL.
Anyway, Group class started this past Saturday. Muffin was the best behaved in the whole class. I was very proud! :-) They made me so nervous on the phone when I booked my spot in the class bc I thought that everyone was going to be WAYYY more advanced than us... but they weren't.
To break up the constant obed and do some fun things, we've decided to take an agility private lesson on Monday's at 9pm. So that's a half hour private once a week, and an hour group. I was also doing sit/stay and down/stay in the woods on Sunday. He was doing them great! :-)
As far as the agility.... I'm still a bit iffy bc I don't really want to start jumping him yet. He's still only around 14 months, so he's still growing. I'll start with simple things like the tunnel, the wait table, and possibly the A frame... I'll leave the real "jumping" things till he's a bit older.... Maybe another 4 months or so... I know the AKC allows dogs 15 months and over to compete... but I would feel better waiting till he's about 18-20 months to start him on the jumps.
I definatly think he gets to a point where "enough is enough." I had some time to kill Saturday after class... so I was waiting outside a store with a HUGE field behind it. I thought I'd train a little there... Muffin was just not listening to me. I thought it was because it was a new place and we had to work on focus... so when we got home I tried training a bit again... and again he just wasn't listening to me. But on Sunday, when we went for a walk in the woods... he decided to act like an angel... So hopefully breaking up the obed with agility will help keep him interested.
ok, that's all I have to say for now.
