Adult Obedience Class Grads
Six weeks have come and gone. What started out as 6 participants became, in the end, 3 participants. We are very proud of those 3 that stuck with it and graduated with an AKC Canine Good Citizen certification.
Each participant in class wanted something specific, besides basic obedience skills. Kim wanted Kia to be more accepting of other dogs and people. This was accomplished but Kim and Kia will be coming to our next class to get some additional reinforcement.
Sher wanted Crash to react calmly and appropriately with other people and dogs. A rescue dog, Crash far exceeded all of our expectations and was the perfect pupil. Sher has enrolled in a more advanced training course to further the bond she and Crash have created together.
Juanita was concerned with Sasha's aggression toward certain dogs and wanted to establish more harmonious meetings and introductions to other dogs Sasha may encounter. Sasha met several new dogs that we brought in while in class and Juanita's handling skills were superb. Sasha's control was great because she had a fabulous owner who was on top of her trigger points.
Also pictured is Stephania, our Assistant Trainer and AKC Evaluator. Stephania comes out to the shelter twice a week to work and train with our shelter residents.
Congratulations to our graduates. You've all worked very hard and deserve a high five and job well done!
