Dog Obedience

 

Here we are at the first day of school.

:-)

 

A large group of puppies, full of energy, full of mischief. 

 

Especially our boy. 

 

It's going okay....but, it's in Danish.  Which means it's hard.  Especially since the group fans out in a wide circle with the instructor talking from the center, while turning slowly from one side to the other.  Most of what I hear is the following:

"Det vigtigste  -- at huske --  er  -- dansk, dansk, dansk..."
[The most important thing -- to remember --  is -- danish, danish, danish...]

Another thing that has become a challenge is that our little angel sometimes gets sooooooo fired up, he gets a little.....

.....vicious. 

 

Hard to believe such a sweet ball of cuddly puppy can turn into a small chainsaw, but this one certainly does.

 

So, we had to get some private lessons. 

 

The woman who came to help us floated in through the door on a cloud of mellow confidence.  Like a Danish Dog Whisperer.  She told us this is all perfectly normal.  She also told us we are smart to address this at 14 weeks, instead of waiting until he's older.

We are paying through the nose for these private lessons, but I think it's pretty much worth it. 

 

Little puppy fluff -- he looks so innocent.

And he really is so sweet.....

 

....until he starts to eat the upholstery. ;-)
