Puppy Foundation Class - Wk 2

Well, we´re continuing to practise our lead walking and Maddy is doing this very well, although she is still very wary of passing traffic at the moment, so I´m deliberately incorporating a little roadwalk into all our walks.
Maddy now understands "sit", and her "downs" are improving too. Today, out walking, we were practising our "stays". I was just getting her to sit and then stepping away from her to the end of the lead and returning with a treat after a count of 10 - she´s getting quite good at this now. She also understands my toileting command of "hurry up", which is useful!
We did very well in the trick competition, coming 2nd with our "spin´n´twist" move. This week we´ve got to learn to bow, so it will be interesting to see how we do with this.

Yes, she´s very rewarding to train with. To be fair, Millie is also pretty keen, but she´s even keener now that she has competition.
