Michelleva Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 We adopted our little sheltie pup a week ago. She's a bit older at 4 months so I wanted to start obedience straight away. It was perfect timing because yesterday was sign up day for new members. I've never done this before so I didn't know what to expect. All I can say is that I loved it and so did Georgia. She did really well and met LOTS of doggies. Its great for her socialisation and mine as well. I met some lovely people, and even a couple of shelties. It was so much fun, I can see it really becoming something I look forward to every week. The instructor was great and really approachable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue & Waldo Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I am so glad you enjoyed it. I love it too! I signed up at a low level at ADT and became addicted so upped my membership. When they folded I thought-oh well we passed the highest level I won't do anything. The trouble with an addiction is that you can't stop! So I joined an obedience club and am now about to enter the world of trialling. Hope you keep enjoying it and learning heaps. At least you can say that you were warned about the addiction! Must go am off to obedience now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zug Zug Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I agree it's addictive. I would miss it so much now if I needed to stop for any reason. Glad to hear you're enjoying it so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelleva Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 Thanks for the warning guys. I found it a great social thing to do, and Georgia got more and more confident as the time went by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply Grand Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Good for you Michelle and Georgia! I've just started obedience with Saxon too. He's 10 months old, earlier would have been great but timing didn't work out so we only started last month. The basic stuff we've done so far in the first two classes is a bit of a revision for him but I'm looking forward to getting into the more advanced stuff as we pass each level. The first lesson was hilarious, the first thing we did was "charge" our marker word, which Saxon already knew, and he was looking at me very suspiciously while I was saying "good" then treating him for doing nothing. It was like he was thinking "what's the catch here?" Then he started half going into drop like he thought he really should do something to earn these fantastic treats In the second class he still seemed suspicious, like he was thinking "I still don't get why I'm getting so many great treats just for sitting, dropping and walking, there must be a catch, but I'll enjoy it while I can". So funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelleva Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 It sounds like Saxon is one smart puppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
