Class on Wednesday went okay. Mom said that I did pretty good for my first ever obedience class.
An hour was a long time to hold my attention ya know, mom! There were other pups there to meet and possibly play with but mom said that wasn't the way that school worked - not this week anyway!
My teacher, Miss Kathy, likes to send us home with TONS of homework!
One of the things that I'm going to learn is to "leave" treats and not touch them until mom says "okay"!
Are they serious?
Keep those treats coming mom. Just don't expect me to wait too long, okay?
I did too! I'm all set for the warmer weather now!
Mom says we have to do homework every chance we get. She says that practice, practice, practice makes perfect! Sure mom!
Can I go play now?
Yer friend,
Mitchy Boy
Mitch!
ReplyDeleteYou look so handsome! All that sitting and waiting and looking adorable does look so exhausting! You definitely needed a nap!! Keep up the good work!
Love,
janie
Mitch, that sure is a lot of homework!! We know you can master it!!! Be sure and take lots of naps though because it wears you out! Lots of love, Holly and mom
ReplyDeleteGreat job with doing your homework Mitch. Keep up the good work and i"m sure you'll get lots of yummies.

Ooooh you do look smart! We're in need of a trim as we're getting that scruffy look or so our human says! That Leave command is a hard one isn't it, you look like you're doing brilliantly at it though! Dex & Lou x
ReplyDeleteWhew, you look great, even after all that hard work!
ReplyDeleteIsn't homework so difficult ! But then on the upside - mmmmm treats and more treats - you gotta love that. We sent you an email too.
ReplyDeleteHOMEWORK!?!?!? That's going a bit too far, isn't it?!?!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Mitch!
Play bows,
Zim
Mitch, you're looking great and lots of homework does pay off honestly! Well, that's what Murray's Mom is always telling him anyway!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend
Clive and Murray
Hi Mitch, it's okay. You're doing really well. I still go to class from time to time to observe but my brothers and sister go to agility classes. Agility classes are really OB classes with "field equipment" involved like tunnels, hoops, jumps and that sort of thing. It's fun and you get food and rubs and pats when you do well. Besides it's a good opportunity to take the humans out for a run too.
ReplyDeleteYou means you gots homework on da very furst day? Oh you is gonna haves your work cutout fur you.
ReplyDeleteIt may be hard to do da treat thihg but I has no doubt you can do it.

PS: my squiggly word is palin...hehehehe!
Nice work, Mitch! Mom likes to torture me by placing treats in front of me and then waiting for ages before giving me permission to take it..

PeeEss: my word verification is "rocket" ;D
Believe it or not, leave it is one of Sissy's best commands. Down is what eludes her.
ReplyDeleteAre you the "Teacher's Pet"? Being that smart and all I bet you are....
ReplyDeleteIf practice involves treats, Mitch, then just go for it, the more the better. We know that leave it command, but it is so hard when there is a tasty treat just waiting to jump into our mouths.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? HOMEWORK??? in this weather? it is way too nice out there Mitchy my boy to be doing home work.. listen tell her you are going off to study and then pop up here... We can go digging and stuff.. our lips are sealed.. Love A+A
ReplyDeleteHomework equals food. Well done finding a way to get your mom to give you more food!
ReplyDeleteI hated all that homework stuff but it works out well in the end cause then you get to have lots of fun times.
ReplyDeleteI found out that when I was good, I was able to go more places with Vickie and play with more kids and see more things and run without the silly leash.
Anyway, keep up the homework. Its worth it.
Bert
I love going to school because it means I get great treats. Lots and lots of treats! You'll have a blast, Mitch!
ReplyDeleteYour friend in guyness,

Hi Mitch..
ReplyDeleteMy mommy sometimes practices "leave it" with me too. Its just so hard...
especially when she puts the treat on my foot, and tells me to look away! tee hee hee.
I understand why you are so exhaugsted, but I know you can do it
love

Mitch, it looks like you're doing a great job with all your homework.:)
ReplyDeleteLove,
Teddy Bear & Sierra
P.S. We are waiting for Daddy to put some carpet on the new set of stairs.:)
Sounds fun but Ms. Kathy needs to ease up on the homework
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Mitch, I feel you, homework is tiring!
ReplyDeleteBut good job there boy, good job! That first picture threw me off the chair, ouch.
Say you met any girlfriend at school?
Mmmmmmmm! Treats! Just remember...the better you are...the more treats you get! You are looking fabulous!

Penny & Patches
Phooey! I have to do that dumb leave it stuff too. What the heck? Just hand over the cookie, I say. Sometimes you can muzzle butt mom's hand hard enough to make the cookie fly out! Score!
ReplyDeleteI know you will be a wonderful student and do your homework.
Slobbers,
Mango
Hi friends,
ReplyDeleteOh no Mitch, it's almost summer and you gotta go to school. We are sure you are going to me a great student.
We miss you all so much and hope we can start visiting more but Mommy still isn't her usual self.

We understand all about that Obedience Training stuff. Our Sammy (a rescue Newfoundland) just finished his second go round! He did great just like you!
ReplyDeleteYou look SO good (and nekkid) after the spa treatment! OH yeah, that command is hard to learn but you Airedales are intelligent dogs so you will get the hang of it pretty fast. And yes, practice makes it perfect! Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteO that sure is tough! I really feel for you!
ReplyDeleteRest up now.
Have a Great weekend!
woo woos, Tessa
Wow you look great & you're getting smarter too! Sounds great.

My husband and I had SO MUCH FUN taking Sawyer to obedience classes. We loved it so much that we took a second one even though we could have just continued the lessons at home. Sawyer enjoyed meeting tons of new puppy friends too. Have fun Mitch!
ReplyDeleteWaiting.....for treats....for food. That's the HARDEST thing to do.
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Kendra & Bella
Looking great, Mitch! Keep up the good work in your classes and homework!
ReplyDeleteThor and Jack
Hi Mitch, so glad to hear that your first OB class went well and I bet you're already your teacher's pet now!
ReplyDeleteThe humans are so mean that they always put the treats in front of us and play the 'leave it' game with us. I always drool seriously and you can see there is a puddle of my slobber whenever they play 'leave it' on me. Sigh!!! But I can assure you that I'm pretty good at it, well, anyway, you get the treats at last, right?

Is the hour too long fur woo or fur your mom?

Oh no...is it the start of sit and wait b4 meals as well? Humans love to torture us canines this way ;-(
ReplyDeleteYou and Norma Jean have the same ideas about school. It's too long, there's too much homework and not enough play, and it 's very tiring.
ReplyDeleteMorgan, Tsar and the Porties
Mitch weeldone on your first class.
ReplyDeletePractice makes perfect. Lots of treats!
