Intermediate

Last night, Bella and I went to our first intermediate class at PetSmart. To say I was overwhelmed when we left, would be a serious understatement. :/ But, as we left the ring, our trainer Lindsay, said I was doing great. I think I should not give her two bowls of food before class next week. ;)

Unlike puppy school, we started off right away. She was all excited with her new classmates (I think she might have a crush on Jackson, the grey Weimaraner), so getting her to listen and sit/stay was quite a challenge! One of the commands we learned was, "wait". We practiced by going in and out of the ring by unhooking the curtain.

Well, this morning when we were going out on the deck for our usual water/oj, she sat while I unlocked the door (as usual), but stayed sitting while I opened to door, stepped outside and looked at her. She didn't budge! She didn't move until I pretended to put down her water bowl. She waited! And, I didn't even give the command! :) YAY!
