Obedience Class - Week Five

Hi everyone. It's me, Mitch!

Yesterday was my obedience class!

 It was week #5, which means that next week is graduation!   Mom says that we've been doing "okay" and that means that we need a whole lot more practice!

This picture is me focused on mom (and my yummy treats) and I'm following her wherever I have to, to get rewarded. 
Can you see that my leash is dragging?  I'm the only one in the ring so there's hardly any other distraction. hehehe


 One of our requirements for graduations in learning a new trick - one that we've never done before.  I'm practicing it at school today.  Can you guess what it is?
How about now?

I'm working very hard mom!  I want you and the trainer to be so proud of me!

So until next time................

Yer friend,
Mitch

    Hi Mitch!! You're doing brilliantly - we guess your trick might be rolling over??! We're no good at that hard as we try - our human said we're Special Needs ;-) Good luck at your graduation, Dex & Lou x

    That is not an easy trick, but always a crowd pleaser. I, too, am most attentive.... AT SCHOOL. Hehehe.

    I'm sure you'll be the STAR of the class on your graduation day. You should start planning your big day celebration too, make sure all the noms are prepared too.
    That trick is HARD but I'm sure you'll master it within seconds. Way to go, Mitch!!!
