Progress

Had a good weekend with Ruger and socialising, he has met lots of different people and is not barking at them as he was, which is great. I took him to the hairdressers and he sat and focused on me instead of looking at what was going on around him.
Yesterday Ruger went to his first agility show, Delinquent Dogz in Sheffield, where again he met lots of new people and dogs
Mawgan was her usual self with no stay, so we had 5 faults in the agility for leaping off the A-frame, then we had 3 eliminations, although she ran lovely once past the first 3 jumps.
Zara worked well she went clear in agility and jumping, and I was so pleased with her in the jumping as she was perfect, did everything I asked, including lifting her feet!!! She got 2nd in both classess at Level 1.

Ruger's first puppy class

Ruger went to his first puppy class last night at Buddies, run by friends of ours Karen and Derek. We missed the first week of the course due to work, so Ruger entered the class and decided that he had to let everyone know he was there by barking like a mad creature. I settled him in with a tub of polony and managed to get his focus with lots of hard work!! He managed the sits and downs very well and also into the stand, I was very pleassed with him, as he does his positions at home, but there are more distractions in a class. Heelwork wasn't as good as I had hoped as he didn't like having a dog behind him, he wanted to say hello, however he walks nicely on the lead when we are out and about, ie. he doesn't pull, so I am not too worried.
