A+ Student

Laney had her 4th week class tonight at ADOG Training School. I can't say enough about how awesome they are. Everything is done with positive reinforcement and you can tell they really care about each pup. Laney has made great improvements in a few short weeks. She is now using a pinch collar in training class and on walks and is an entirely different dog. I HIGHLY recommend this collar.

She is becoming more confident in class and is starting to attract the attention of the leaders, which brings me to tonight's story. She is by no means perfect. We are still working on "Come" with lots of distraction and "Fetch", but overall she is catching on fast. We ended our class tonight by learning a few new tricks. Laney tried to master "Roll Over," but only got half way, stuck out her tounge, and said belly rub please! We'll work on that one. The next trick was shake. Well this kid has that one in the bag! The leaders were so impressed that I went in for the kill with "High Five." It blew them away. So much so that they called us out into the middle of class to show everyone "Laney's cute High Five." I could not have been more proud of the little booger. She performed this trick perfectly and then recieved much love from her mama.

She may not know how to roll over, but watch out, she'll put your eye out with that High Five of hers.
