Recall Class
Saturday, June 22, 2013 at 5:29PM We did a recall class with Magic and Scruffy and of course with Jeannie. The rest were big dogs with the exception of 1. I liked this class as we are getting Jeannie ready to be around a lot of big dogs so this was part of the conditioning. It all worked. Everyone in that class was able to behave correctly and be off lead.
Here are a few photos of the class. I couldn't take many as the helpers had to be helping.
Magic has never taken any classes except for Tricks class so she did amazing considering that fact. It's easier to do recall if you did the basic classes. She started out slowly doing the recall but improved over the night and that is what the class is truly about - teaching your dog to come.
They do such a wonderful job with Magic!
Scruffy was amazing in class. He loves everyone. Treat, Daddy? Do you see the tongue?
It's as if a light bulb went on for Scruffy and he said oh this is what they want and he was a dawg on a mission. He was great. He even knew when Roger was enthusiastic. Smart dawg!
Now I want to know what Jeannie was smiling at in this photo. I looked but couldn't tell.
Okay, so how can I get those treats? Her mind was thinking but just like Scruffy and Magic they listened to their handlers. Bravo everyone and bravo that they performed with all these strange rambunctious dogs. I was proud of all of them!
It has been raining today. I had a plan to wash everyone and let them air dry after comb out but it aint happening. But they did get groomed - each. We did play retrieve in the house. We also cuddled and played find the treats. But I have to say I am tired of this rain. Kat even came outside and watched me pull weeds and all I got from the son is so when are you going to do the front and you didn't do much. Oh my....
It's a low key day and I am losing the weed battle. I seriously need to dig out plants and thin out the garden but that's on my to do list too. That list grows but the dawgs have my attention big and small and well I think it should be like that. The rest - well I will get to it when I can.

Omg! I just love the smile on Jeannie's face. It is as if she is up to something but of course she is not :-) Precious!
Anne: I think she was looking at the others plotting a mission.
All the dogs in this class did a great job and had loads of fun too! Scruffs was so happy just to be there....he hasn't had a class in probably almost a year, so this was a treat on many counts.
Magic and her very young handler are amazing. Magic is a smart cookie.
I love the pix of Jeannie. She is always thinking.
Kathy, I agree. She's only 10 years old but indeed mature enough to do the class. They made an exception for her on Nathan's word that she could handle it and she is just fine.
Re: Jeannie oh that she is.
