Last night Lily graduated from her Novice class at Sandia Dog Obedience Club. This was the best program I've ever been to for dog training. Her instructors were great with the dogs (and the people) and as a result, every "student" made incredible progress. Even Lily! In fact, they liked her so much that they made some recommendations for some new training events like rally and agility that I think she'd really enjoy!
Lily's Instructors
We played some "games" before the diplomas were handed out (along with some doggy treats for a job well done)!
The Obstacle Course
Lily, Come!
She did a great job with this command. At one point I was in the adjacent room where she couldn't see me and called her. She came running and started to go to Jay (he was in the room with her) and then, when I called again, she made a sharp left turn and came galloping to me!
Down!
She did it! Finally graduation and her diploma!
Congratulations Lily! I hope Santa spoils you this Christmas!
