Adolescent dog training

My very lovely owner, Ann, has signed me up for a course of 'Adolescent Dog Training Classes' with the 'Dogs Trust'. It's a course of 6 classes and the first class today was for humans only. So I got left home alone while Ann went off to discover what training an adolescent dog was all about. To be eligible for the 'adolescent' class the doggie has to be between 18 weeks and 18 months old. Mmmmmm.................. I think if I'd gone to adolescent doggie training when I was only 18 weeks old I would have failed dismally. I was most definitely still a puppy until I was about 7 or 8 months old. …...............Can anyone on Blip remember all the traumas Ann had trying to toilet train me??????



Anyway, when Ann first adopted me, I went to 'puppy class'  for almost 3 months, but that was mainly just to socialise me. …............And then I became so socialised that all I wanted to do at puppy class was play with all the other puppies so I just ignored all the other stuff that we were supposed to do. Eventually Ann stopped taking me because she thought I was going to get expelled for being so naughty. Lol, lol, lol!



My first class is on 29th January and Ann's got a few things that she's got to practise with me before then, but to be honest, I'm pretty perfect already apart from jumping up at random people and chewing walls.



After 'human' adolescent doggie class, Ann went off to do a 'meet & greet'. She took a lovely photo of the sunset from the property she was at, which she would have posted on FB in normal circumstances. BUT, Ann's January challenge is to come off FB for a month so now she doesn't know what to do with all the photos she takes, so she's going to stick it on 'Blip extras.'



Oh and if anyone is interested......................... this is a Blip of me in the park this morning. And when Ann came home this afternoon, after leaving me 'home alone' for four and a half hours, I was snoozing in my bed in good dog mode and I hadn't chewed a single thing. Yay!!!


PS - For some reason, the 'extra' photo won't post.  Haven't a clue why not???  Maybe I'll try and edit it later??!! 

PPS - Edited and posted in extras.  Whoopee Doo.
