The Newfs had their first formal training class today and it looks like I was worried for nothing! Some of you may remember that we did their basic training at home so they started today in intermediate. I felt like they were ready but it's hard for me to be objective sometimes.
We had a couple of problems keeping the dogs focused on us in the ring instead of each other but once we split up for individual practice they both did very well!
I was especially proud of Fargo. Not only did he relax around our classmate in the motorized wheelchair but my fuzzy baby bear actually sought out some attention from strangers!
The best part? Ursa's daddy is handling Sadie during class so he's getting a chance to bond a bit more with her and to practice getting the puppies to obey him. We had originally thought we'd swap off dogs so everyone could try working together but quickly realized that wasn't going to work.
