My Obedience Class - by Dozer

I am in Level 1 Obedience at Wonder Dogs in Philomath, Oregon. Julie Flanery is my instructor and I am in love with Sharon who is her assistant. They both have unlimited treats and they think I am cute. Julie referred to me being "short" but I think she really meant "low slung" - sometimes my good looks can be blinding and people can be speechless.

This is where we have our class. It is a neat building with padded floors and lots of room for us to practice all our lessons. There is a wall with a mirror from top to bottom. I like to be across from it so I can look at myself. Mum says that it is distracting because I keep waving at myself.

This is Julie my instructor. She is writing down things I need to remember in order. I never forget the part where I get a treat for doing something right!

This is me looking at you. Isn't the floor nifty? It looks like a puzzle and goes squishy when you walk on it!

This is my bud, Toby. He is "low slung" like me. He is a dachsund. He is a little shy.

This is Julie. Isn't she pretty? Yeah, I think so too. She is really good, I will do anything she asks because her pockets are loaded with never-ending treats!

And this is Sharon. She has big pockets with lots of treats too. She never stops smiling. Probably because I am so good looking.

Julie said I can sign up for Level 2 Obedience which starts in September(!) Mum is very excited but she said it will be a lot of work so I will have to pay attention and study my workbook.

Once I finish Level 2, there are more classes I can take. I like going to school. Mum and I have time together and I get lots of treats. But I do get tired and Mum is going to give me a massage before bed tonight.
