Kindergarten

Last night was Diesel's first day of Kindergarten. There are eight other students representing many breeds: another pug, a labradoodle, a cockapoo, a german shepard, a goldern retriever, a shih tzu, and a great dane. Diesel was suspicious of what was going on.




Here he is finding safety under dad's legs. During play time, we were not aloud to touch our own dog. Diesel made his rounds to the humans but did not pay much attention to the other dogs. Especially the great dane who he would run from. But then he learned that if he was the volunteer he got treats. The next photo shows him wanting to be the volunteer.







The trainer told everyone that in the class each pup represents different personalities and we discovered that Diesel is the strong-willed dog. When all the other pups were doing the activities, Diesel would just bark and run away from us. Finally, it was play time again and he got to explore a little more. Here are some pictures of him and dad playing.



We were given homework and have to spend 15-30 minutes a day working on the exercises we learned. The trainer said that even though he is strong-willed we will end up with a really good dog as long as we follow through. This should be fun!
