It's been 75-85 degrees here for the past few days... which is way too hot for Eddy, Mike, and myself. It's really frustrating because Eddy refuses to go on his walks since it's been so hot! He'll potty and run around a tad if we're in the shade, but I can't get him to go on a walk because our walking places are mostly in sunlight. He just wants to go back inside where it's cool. I mean, I don't blame him, but then he brings all that energy indoors, which means.. destruction, barking, boredom.

Well, I guess I'm just a crybaby. As for good news, I introduced tiny pieces of hot dog into our training session, which greatly improved his performance. He's best at doing "down", and worst at doing "sit". He always tries to jump up on his hind legs to snatch the food during "sit", instead of just sitting his little butt down to follow my hand.

I'm so excited about puppy classes! My manager referred me, said it was excellent for her basset hound puppy to learn basic commands, leash conduct, and social etiquette. The place said they won't enroll him until he's had his 3rd shots, which'll be on the 30th. They're charging $110 for 6 classes, one class a week. Puppy Meet is $10/meet once a week. They only train and groom dogs, and they have show and agility trainers, too. Is this a normal price for a specialty class? It seems reasonable to me, but I don't want to get duped.
