Mischa's First Day of School

Today was Mischa's first day of school, called Puppy Basic, at the Woofs Dog Training School. Mischa's classmates are some pretty big puppies - so during leash-off play time she spent a good bit of time hiding between our feet - there is a black Labradoodle named Dusty who must weigh in at at least 60 pounds already at just under 6 months old, a soft coated wheaten terrier who is also pretty big and SUPER energetic, 4 other BIG puppies, and one midsized boy who's taken a liking to our little princess. He was not shy about showing it either - use your imagination. During class we worked on 3 main goals - "Sit!", "Down!" and the name recognition game. We think Mischa does know her name and has also mastered the art of selective hearing. Good thing class is 7 weeks long - we've got some work to do! In all honesty, though, Mischa was the most calm and well behaved puppy in the class - shy, and not always good at following commands yet, but she truly is our little angel. We'll be practicing our lessons during the week and will report our progress after next saturday's class!
