An Obedient Human is a Happy Human.
Arrrooooo! I have exciting news! The Missus passed her Obedience II class last night at Miss Barb’s Doggie School. I was worried about her for a while. She hasn’t kept up with her training of late. Fortunately, we drew the number to go last out of the five humans testing. Our lucky draw gave her plenty of time to watch.
Some of the tests were very easy. All the Missus had to do was stand still while Miss Barb shook her hand, pet me on the head and brushed my back. Of course, I stayed very still to set a good example to the Missus. She needs lots of cues.
When the walking on a loose lead test came up I really began to worry. Missus forgot to give me my hand signal to stay close so I kept my nose to the ground for about 2 feet. Miss Barb told her I couldn’t do that and asked if we wanted to give up. That is when I used my extra strong doggie e.s.p. to remind Missus of her hand signal. (I couldn’t really tell her verbally in front of EVERYONE or that would have embarrassed the Missus)
She caught on quickly and I pranced along right beside her with my head smartly raised. Miss Barb was so pleased she called me "adorable' which, of course, I am.
When Miss Barb announced that Missus had passed Sir fell back in his seat clutching his chest. I knew just how he felt. I couldn’t believe she passed either!
After we all finished we took our humans to the agility course located at the front of the school. We canines took turns running through the tunnel. Miss Barb ratted me out for peeing in the tunnel two weeks ago but I didn’t mind. It was the Missus’ fault and everybody knows it. (I told her I had to go!)
Now I am about as obedient as a Scotty can get. Next month I start Agility! Arrrrooo!
