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.
