Dog training class tonight

Well, that was a lot easier than I expected. Domino was very interested in the other dogs but didn't bark at them at all, even though some of the dogs were barking at her and others. It was a real beginners class, so most of the dogs had no manners at all, so Domino was quite good in that respect.

There was one Labrador that they couldn't let join us in the end because he refused to be quiet and was going for all the dogs.

Domino isn't too good at walking nicely on a lead (fine with a halti) and sometimes barks at other dogs we meet, this was the main reason for going back to classes. The trainer(Nikki) showed us a method of training our dogs to walk nicely and not pull (by hooking your leg in front of the dog each time it tries to walk in front). Of course Domino walked beautifully in the hall, so I'll have to wait until tomorrows walk to try it out.

So we'll be off there again next week.
