Our Dog has class



At least that is what our bumper sticker says. Zeus graduated from obedience school yesterday. They had a little ceremony of sorts. We got to take pictures with a little graduation hat on and they played musical paws...like musical chairs but you have to get your dog to do a trick before you can sit down. It was a little lame, but the classes were great! Zeus learned how to sit, lay down, shake, come, stay, do push ups (sit and lay down over and over again), and he is just a more obedient dog over all. We still have our struggles...like he wont leave one of my decorative pillow alone (he likes to eat the buttons) and rarely we will have an accident :( but it has been a long time. He still chews on fingers when he is really excited but he doesn't really try to hurt and he is getting better at that. We are taking a break from the classes for a bit, but the next class we are going to put him in is a trick class. He will learn to play patty cake, crawl, take a bow, and jumps and stuff. We are excited for that, but are glad to have our Saturdays without a class in the middle of the day. Good Job Zeus!

A well-trained dog is sooo worth it - How fun that you two got a dog. It's good to see that you are doing well!
