My First Puppy Class

Last night I went to my first puppy class. I got to meet 2 yellow labs and a golden retriever. I was too focused on my mommy and the treats she had to play with the other dogs, but I bet they will be a lot of fun once I get bigger.

I did learn to walk on some new surfaces, for example a wire crate, a sand papered board (its normally used to file our nails) and a garbage bag. I was great I even sat on some of these strange things. Mom also tried shaping me to do something with a small box! I have no idea what she wanted but every time I looked or nosed it I got a click and treat. We also tried shaping to put my harness on again. I can stick most of my head under it. Mom says I am very smart for a 9 week old puppy. I also showed off my loose leash walking skills, both on and off the leash.

I did have fun but boy was I tired afterwards. While mom was talking with the other puppy raisers she held me, which I love, and rubbed my belly and I fell right to sleep. When I got home I was still exhausted. Mom even took this picture:

Mom says this weekend I get to meet my big half-brother SSD Graham Cracker for the first time. I am excited, he is finishing up his advanced training so he can tell me all about this great journey I am on. In my next post I will tell about how it goes and about a puppy picnic I'm going to this weekend. I'm off to sleep again!
