Today I went to my very first CGC (Canine Good Citizenship) training class! It was so much fun! My Mom has a sprained finger so the instructor would not let her walk me around the ring with the other dogs. That meant that I got a different job to do tonight. Mom and I had to sit inside the ring and I had to stay still while the other dogs kept walking in front of me. When I was good and stayed still I got treats, yum! I ended up with a lot of tiny treats that is for sure! I did have a couple of moments though! One dog came over to me before the class, a German Shepherd I think, and it got a little mouthy with me so I returned the favor and barked right back! So there I thought! Mom didn’t see it the same way as I did though and made me sit down real quick! Then when we were in the ring for the training and I was laying there being so good the other class in the other ring started making a lot of really loud noises and it scared me and I felt it was my job to bark real loud at that! Again, mom made me stop and sit real quick! Boy, what is a vocal Sheltie like me to do! Next week the instructor told mom to bring this new thing for me called a gentle lead. Oh no! Also, she told us that we had to be with different people for some of the class. My mom has to have a different dog, what the heck is that all about! I am sure that I will keep trying to get to her! That German Shepherd better not be the one she gets! I will have to get vocal again that is for sure! Oh, that instructor thinks that she is going to touch MY paws next week, you have GOT to be kidding me! I do NOT like my paws touched at all, EVER! Well, if this class works and gets me to learn to relax and let people touch me, stay calm around dogs and not keep trying to drag mom to sniff them, and get my paws touched more then it will be worth it! I will let you all know next week how it goes! Binx
