First puppy class

Well, today we had our first puppy class. Sterling definitely loved all of the puppy play time! We learned commands he already knows, like sit, but it was really hard to get him to focus on me with all those other puppy buddies around. I was a little disappointed that he didn't listen better, but I guess I expected too much at his first class. My expectations were just so high because he listens so well at home!
Anyway, I think this will be great for him (and for me). We're looking forward to class #2 next week!

Just remember...the instructor is not training your dog...he/she is training you to train your dog. But class is great for socialization and a wonderful bonding experience for you and your puppy. Have fun with it and don't worry about perfect. Work with him at home on the commands you learn at class and he will get there. You may be surprised at what talents you little guy will show you.
