Wife and I really want to get the most from our latest dog. Really get the most from the experience.

We both figured we may as well take some dog training lessons. For the most part, I noticed it was geared to breaking our own bad habits. The trainer lady would run.... no let me set this up, Our dog is a bit reactive on leash. He barks, pulls and jumps to try to get to other dogs. No malice, just to play. It's why we wanted the class. We hope To curb his lack of impulse control.

He was the only mutt in class. The only adopted dog. I was kinda worried about our rogue, damn near feral pup. One class ended and all the dogs exited in orderly fashion while our log was writhing at the end of his leash like a banshee. In the and, all that was left was HANK and a puppy border collie. Oh o...talk about completion! The class was called THE REACTIVE DOG or something.

Anyways our dog in the control of the lady trainer was a whole different animal. It was cool to watch. She handed us our dog and gave us homework. We have to teach him to put both paws on a circle at the order "touch!" Wtf??? There is no way! And he is to nose our hand at the order "hand". By the time we got our lessons, both dog ignored each other. Both were trying to figure out WTF we idiot humans wanted.

This is going to be fun! I'll probably go insane and broke. Classes are not cheap.


I just got a round paver and hank is putting both paws up there! I think he is getting it.

So I'm I. I have been doing so many things wrong. I don't expect to be Cesar Milan, but I hope I get some things right.
