Puppy Class

Today we had puppy class, it is the start of a new semester and Battier is repeating Riffraff. We have 4 levels: KPT, Basic, Riffraff and Big Dogs. Battier will be in Big Dogs after this semester and starting in February! That's hard to believe.

Today we worked on BED - from different positions. Battier is awesome at this! I can stand with my back to the bed and Battier in a heel and she will find the bed.

We also practiced something that Battier is great at...the dogs on/off switch. Meaning, they get excited and playful and then go back to work mode. I will have to get a video, but Battier can go from bouncing and running (never pulling on the leash) then right to a sit or heel. She's such a good girl!

We went to class early to watch the Basic puppies. They worked on bed here as well with a puppy taking turns weaving in and out of all the dogs. 

Battier met her half-sister Kailee for the first time today. Kailee is an Orent II puppy and Hula. Hula is from Brady III, Brady is an OMSI III puppy and OMSI is a Shawn puppy. So they're pretty closely related. Battier is about 3 weeks older than Kailee. 

After class we went to the Fountains in Roseville and the Galleria. I was surprised at home many people were out Christmas shopping. It was PACKED. Battier did awesome as usual. 

The girls are getting ready for our long road trip on Monday. We'll be driving 500 miles to Palm Springs. It'll be worth it since it's going to be a lot warmer there!
