First puppy diploma, August 19

Alex finished "puppy class" August 19. By the time we were done, he could hold a down or sit while I crossed the ring and waited to call him. Such a star! Naturally, this does not translate to everywhere yet, but we are working on it.

We also tried some beginning agility equipment that night. Alex was our demo dog and demo he did! The teeter totter confounded him after another pup SLAMMED it, but knowing our little guy, it won't take much to get him back up there.

Alex is still herding the other pupppies during playtime, but can now be called from them for a check in. Then it is ... OH YEAH - back to PLAY!!
