Next Saturday is Bella's graduation from Petsmart's puppy training class. Since we missed three of the eight classes, our trainer took some time today in class to review a few things with us. Bella and I have to work super hard this week so she can graduate with the rest of her class.

Though Bella is behind in class, I feel that we're making progress in getting her better socialized. She actually played today with the other puppies. She got a little overwhelmed by the end of class and started snapping at all her classmates when they wouldn't leave her alone. Bentley the Bulldog gave Bella a run for her money it seems. But I can't even begin to explain how shocked I was when she practically dragged me into the training room and started pouncing and interacting with the others. And as we entered Petsmart a few minutes before class began, Bella even took the initiative to go sniff some of the older, bigger dogs. I was so proud.
