Cooper’s First Class

Wednesday, February 15, 2012 was his very first “puppy class”!!! Cooper went to Class…

 We showed up slightly early, and I saw an English Bulldog that I am jealous of (he was just too cute with all his wrinkles). Soon our class started, and Cooper only has one classmate (Lola a baby Beagle). And I have to admit, that I am glad we already did the potty training, and that we already taught him “wait” with his food, and he knows “sit”.



The trainer mentioned about making them “wait” before going out, and for whatever reason it just never occurred to me, he barrels out and pulls/leads. I’m just a little uncertain when it comes to “potty time”, he is not a vocal dog (he whimpers and whines, and pushes for what he wants, much like a child that refuses to talk because they get what they want when they point), and rings the bells, and like a toddler will wait until he has to go now… and will ring those bells until you get a clue (and start whining on top of it if you don't notice the bells the first time)!

(Only creepy thing was when it came time to leave!!! It was late, and two shady characters split like a pack of wolves and I felt unsafe! One started to walk ahead by the building to circle back around, while the other started to walk towards me, and no reason to walk towards me than being up to no good. Seemed like the one was going to approach me while I let Cooper pee first and he had to go, but quickly left when they saw my husband in the car with it started. I know it isn’t the store/trainers fault in any way, just means I’ll need to leave five minutes early from now on. *CREEPY*)
