Graduated from Obedience Class

Yeah! We FINALLY finished the obedience class yesterday. We really liked our instructor Valerie, but the class was a little out of sync. I think each "parent" had different expectation of what it was going to be like, and I guess these expectations were not met so some of them just stopped coming to the class. Sadly to say Soba and I were the only ones who showed up to our last class yesterday!! There were also some gaps between classes due to holiday and weather which slowed down progress. We had to revisit some of the things we already did because the doggies forgot.

In spite of all this, I do give Soba credit for learning the basics like "sit", "stay", "down", "heel", etc. But he still has a LONG way to go before he is truly obedient. Wade and I were joking that he didn't really graduate from the class 'cause there were no tests at the end to see what he really learned. He was the only doggie that went to ALL the classes so maybe the certificate should be changed to congratulate him on full attendence. Man! We are harsh parents!! :)
