Dog School

Some snapshots from last tuesday.

First Day at School

On Tuesday we had our first group training in our dog school. Unfortunatly we forgot our camera so we don't have photos, but maybe on Saturday :)

Eshetu, with his 9 weeks, is the youngest dog but already one of the biggest. He was doing great and I am very proud of him. He was playing a lot and we trained how to call him that he is coming and basically that it is needless to call him when he is engrossed in his play. So - mainly we were trained and not the dog :D

Susi also showed me a few tricks to get him down because he don't really see the use of laying down on the mostly cold floor - until now it was enough to sit (and wait) to get his meal or treat :) but we are on the right way!

Testing the training ground

Afterwards we had our first private lesson with Susi, our dog trainer. She has also a puppy at home, Atinka, a 4-month-old Jack-Russelmix Bitch. Eshetu made his first experiences with the a-wall, the tunnel, catwalk and some other things. Although it was very cold and plashy outside he was doing great and after work he was playing with Atinka inside.

Unfortunatly I had not the time to make photos, next Tuesday we are starting with the puppy-kindergarten and I hope I (or Hannes) can take more photos then!
