puppy class 06.20 - sit and down

First, I didn't notice Cartman and I already missed one class last week. So, we were behind from the start, which could make both of us (mostly me, I guess) feel better for the fact Cartman once again was the worst student in the class.

Cartman was a bit like Marley in this book "Marley and me", hype, short attention span, jumping, and, sweet. He totally lost himself among his classmates, "so many doggies, so little time". This time, I had a better leash, also, he was walked before the class, we managed to stay calm little bit at the last half of the class.

The things we learned are "sit" "down" which suppose to be last week's lesson, and this week, "leave it". 

It was hard work. I was having minor migraine before going home from work, now with the one hour class, I talked and worked with Cartman so much, I was exhausted, but headache just gone.

"next time, better treat, dont feed him before the class, walk him more". -- instructor's suggestion

These a few days, Cartman enjoys boiled chicken (table food is back, but only for training) as treat, he gets it whenever he does sit and down after being shouted a dozen times in the face. Chicken always works for him. It is definitely in my shopping list now.
