In which Bean is a STAR.
Today was the last day of Bean’s puppy class. We are going to miss it. I am especially going to miss post-puppy-class Bean. Yay tired puppy! We had a really great time in this class. The class was the first … Continue reading
Puppy class.
I don’t know why so many people opt out of puppy class. It is like the most fun thing ever. Watching a bunch of puppies run around like maniacs? How can people not just love that? We only had three … Continue reading
Puppy’s first day of school.
The Bean started puppy kindergarden yesterday. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I’m not in love with the instructor. I’ve spent maybe ten minutes actively training this puppy in the two weeks that he’s been home. I’ve just been … Continue reading

Steve rally class video.
He is super forgey through almost all of this. And wrapped. And truth be told, I don’t care that much because I know how hard this all was for him. Rally is hard for him to start with. It’s slow. … Continue reading
Smartypants Steve.
The new obedience class session started yesterday, and I have Steve in Rally 2. The last time we took an obedience class it didn’t go that well. He was a mess. He was distracted and overstimulated by the dogs in … Continue reading
