Happy Friday!! I had a good day today, we started off playing with my friends followed by a potty break outside. Later we worked on recall for our training session. In the beginning we did one on one repetitions and afterwards practiced recall in a group setting to work on distractions. In the afternoon we had a nap and ended our day with another play session.

Today at school I worked super hard on my door manners! We practiced waiting politely at door thresholds both inside and outside. I learned to pause, stay calm, and move through only when invited. Iโm getting really good at controlling my excitement! After all that focus, we went outside to soak up the sunshine and play with my friends. It was the perfect way to end the day! I loved playing with Ruby

I had so much fun playing with my friends today, Riker was of course my best friend today, but I also enjoyed playing with Larry and all the other dogs. There were a few times I demand barked at my friends when they tried to take a break from play but I listened to my instructors well when the helped me move on. I did pretty well for the take it leave it exercise, I very much enjoyed it.

Today I wanted to play with my friends all day. I didnโt always listen when they asked for a break and I was would bark at my friends while they were trying to nap. The staff would walk me on their belt and I was good with the leash but generally returned to whichever dog I was playing with before after being released. I did pretty good with the focus exercise today; for todayโs focus exercise we had a Winter Olympics and ran through a tunnel, I was hesitant about going through the tunnel and only took a few steps but I tried my best.

I had some issues with respecting my friends space while napping. And when my trainer tried to guide me away from play I redirected onto her. I spent most of my time plying with my friends like Riker. And I enjoyed the Valentines events today as well.

Happy Friday! Today was fearless friday, the dogs practiced going down the slide obstacle into the pool! Pepper was very vocal today and was policing her friends a little bit. She required some time with the trainers to work on manners

Pepper had an amazing first day!! She was so sweet and so gentle with the dogs and trainers๐ค๐ค When she first got in she was a bit nervous but she soon became our Velcro dog she even tripped us a few times. She also showed us her barking skills!!
