Today was Reilly's first day of school! I am sure it is no surprise to the regular followers of this blog that he did a great job. There are only 4 dogs in the beginner obedience class, and I have to say that Reilly was the best. He did great with sit and down. We are using a variation of clicker training with the YES command.
Reilly's opportunity for improvement is his focus on me. His attention was split between me and a great dane puppy, named Dixie. Dixie is 6-months old and a little bigger than Reilly. They were very cute. I did not bring my camera into the class, but would have loved to snap a picture of the two of them laid out fast asleep. All the training was obviously draining as they both fell asleep 5 minutes before the end of the class. The picture here is of Reilly in the car on the way home - sacked out.
