taking puppy to classes to observe

Both Dawn and I have been emphasizing the advantage of bringing a new puppy along when attending an older dog's classes. This afternoon was Becky's turn to accompany her mom and aunt to their obedience class.

She did quite well. Here she is next to a fullgrown (ahem :oops: ) Sheltie:



Apparently they were smooching in between. Of course, no one caught that on camera :roll: Sheltie owner was very pleased, though, as her sheltie was normally afraid of other dogs, but liked Beck.

A wider shot, mom in the soft sided crate:



When I wasn't working one of the girls I brought Becky out and played with her. A lot of musical dogs. Bringing two dogs to the same obedience class is not ideal, but it's the only class available to me at the moment. The big girls on the sit-stay. (Apologize for picture quality - some day I will get the hang of this camera...)



Anyway, just thought I'd share.

I love that sheltie picture...what a peanut! :lol:

My dogs so often end up doing sits and downs together too...although your girls are a bit better matched than the duo of Chewie and Riley! :roll:

Tomorrow evening Bond gets his turn at going and observing during class.
... poor Riley will have to rotate with him on some nights, at least until Bond is old enough to not need as much potential supervision. I don't think 2 dogs plus 1 puppy and teaching class is quite doable - yet!

I also bring my foster dogs, and treat them like the puppies...learning and observing. :D
You guys amaze me! Teddy alone wears me out!
