At the conclusion of last night's class Landon has accomplished half of his puppy schooling. Way to go little dude! Last night was blanket training and learning how to resist natural tendencies. Learning to resist some natural tendencies for a dog is a HUGE obstacle to tackle.
Imagine being a dog and having a treat waved in front of your nose all while being told to leave it alone. He did very well! Later on in the class he mastered the "wait" command on the very first try! Personally, I'm having trouble figuring out when the "wait" command would be useful inside our home. I think inside our home, it's not too useful for a small dog. Now a big dog, I can understand it better for a big dog inside the home. You don't want a big dog running in front of you when you are entering a room. For Landon though I picture using the "wait" command when getting in and out of the car, as well as waiting for traffic when walking him. Which is exactly the situations I plan on further practicing that command with him.
He did remind me of someone or two "human" somebodies at one point...when the instructor asked to borrow him for a demonstration in front of the whole class he got a big case of stage fright. Hmm, he certainly didn't get that from me(wink-wink)...reminded me of his daddy! And I won't mention the other person by name I'll just say she gave birth to me and lives in Phoenix! LOL!
