Monday.... And it Begins!

10/29/2012

     While everyone else in New England had work and school cancelled, the dedicated staff here at CCI braved Hurricane Sandy.  We had a half day of lectures and a practice session with "first semester" pups.  To put it in prospective, the prospective pups we will be going home with are "second and third semester" pups.  The staff told us to expect classes to be cancelled tomorrow, and will resume Wednesday.
     During our first practice session I worked with a yellow lab.  Yes, I do have a soft spot for them so I was excited.  I stumbled a few times with some of the command sequences, but the pup and I figured it all out. We all did well, learning sit, down, and Lets go.
     As for the lectures, we pushed in an extra lecture to try to play catch up for our day off.  It was all about orientation to the program, orientation to the dog, and how motivate a dog to get a desired response.
     Except for this said "superstorm," I am feeling fairly confident about the upcoming two weeks of training.
