The First Day of School
Well our Bruce had his first session of dog training last night and let me just tell you I am so proud of our big boy!
Don't get me wrong, he needs some work when it comes to his recent learned talent of barking at little yappy dogs that bark at him. I can't blame him though. Those little dogs always bark at him first man!!
Initially Bruce was barked at and lunged at by a few small dogs with "small man complex" so he sat back and barked back a few times. In this instance its good that Bruce has the attention span of a fruit fly because he quickly realized that there were a lot of other things to check out, like beef bones and treats and the puddle of pee at the end of the aisle.
The fruit fly attention span does not work in our favor when teaching Bruce the 1st three commands for the class. "Watch me" "Jump Start Come" "Sit"
I mean wouldn't you find it hard to watch a boring old human when there is a potential for acquiring a large beef bone or an adoptable cat (to consume)??? Give the guy a break!
Needless to say Bruce got the commands down very quickly because he is a smart boy and now we will just need to practice and do our homework for next week! Wish us luck!
Dog training is at our nearby Petco! Great staff and the trainer is awesome!

| So he laid down for a quick nap. Don't mind his arm wound (that's from his former foster sister, Mindy) |
