Petsmart Puppy Class

I signed Banzai up for puppy classes last week. He will be starting on Aug. 17th. My ultimate goal is the Canine Good Citizen coarse. That way if anyone wants to say that my puppy is a bad dog I can shove that certificate in their face.

I have all items needed for the class except my puppy, and treats. I even got a bag (that matches his collar I might add) to store them all in. Well not the puppy, he will be on lead beside me.

Today I went to Target (thanks for the tips guys) and got him pet steps for $20. They are like $25 or more anywhere else. I also got him a collapsible kennel.

I only have two worries with the kennel though. One being my cats thinking that it's a sturdy object and jumping on it with puppy inside. The other is the fact that it is not that sturdy, and given the right amount of force to either side it can tip over. I seriously do not want to wake up to a squished corgi, or to find him in a spot other then where I left him.

SamT- I know! I want to be able to bring him EVERYWHERE. That is truly my ultimate goal. He is going to be one very well behaved little boy when I get through with him.

Comment by Sam on June 15, 2008 at 6:55pm: You may wish to reconsider the crate. While they are nice to take along when you visit they really are not sturdy enough to be a primary crate for most dogs. I think you would do much better with a wire or airline crate. The soft sided crates also provide little to no protection while traveling in a vehicle. Pups can chew up these crates very quickly. Best of luck with your new pup. Sounds like you are busy preparing and planning ahead.
