Puppy Pre-school

Last night Russell and I took Jet to his first session of Puppy Pre-school, where he will hopefully learn some obedience and where he is able to socialize with other pups.

He was the smallest of his class and the most timid. All the other dogs would have been 3x his size! There was a Belgium Shepherd, a Kelpie, and another mixed breed of who-knows-what.

Jet did very well sitting, but is having a little trouble learning 'down'. He just hunches over and you cant tell if his lying down his so jolly fluffy! They also get the puppies used to going into a consultation room and being poked and prodded - which is a good thing for the owner and the vet.

Halfway through the night, Jet decided that he wanted to sleep, so he slept in-between my legs while the other pups played. He also just enjoyed watching the other pups play, but never joined in. When the other pups left though he howled and cried - obviously missing them (even though he didnt want to play).

The key thing we have to remember is to be consistent. He is doing pretty well, and he is still bringing us much joy! We love him sooo much!!
