3rd puppy class

We are having great fun at puppy class. We had no sooner got settled last night and Logan screamed the place down, rushed him outside where he went pee and poo as soon as I gave command - very good but I wish he had a quieter method of letting me know he needed to go - you'd have thought he was being murdered the noise he made.

Back inside and we went through our lead manners - no lunging, pulling or dragging behind to sniff (hmm, need more practice on the last). Sitting and waiting until told to go say hello and then a recall (with help from the lead if necessary). Then a sit, wait and go play (off lead) followed by recall. Next was a huge task as we had 3 pups at each end of the hall and we had to walk on a loose lead up and down between each other, keeping pups attention on handlers and not playmates. Good fun and Logan was pretty good considering he's the youngest there.
We had a little fun then and had to go through a hula hoop in both directions - aced this as all the boys do it at home. The next exercise was a little more difficult as it was go to bed - my fault entirely as when he goes to bed at home he pops in his crate - must practise with carpet square or similar before next week.
Next came sit/down stays followed by down stay with a treat in front - he managed to restrain himself for about 10 seconds, must work harder on training this.
Class ended with 2 pups doing recalls the full length of the hall at the same time - 1st go and Logan shot after the choc lab pup :( but on the 2nd he came flying towards me and when I lifted my hands to give the sit signal he slipped on his bum, ended up in heap on the floor, rolled on his back and had a good wriggle, followed by a tummy rub before he sat for a treat.
I think he enjoys puppy class :)
