Graduation Day!


Yay! Suki has graduated puppy class. Above is our graduating class. The last class included something we haven't really done with Suki before: dress up! I found this bee costume for Suki. Dress up is a great social exercise, since your attention is on your dog and you're touching her everywhere. It's also hilarious. Stay tuned, we'll be bringing Suki to some puppy play groups and to her next school, the puppy intermediate course.




A major milestone in Suki's training this week is her response to "Come." We got her to come to us while engaged in her favorite activity, playing with another dog. We were soooooo proud. The instructor told us we have a great Shiba Inu, I say she's the BEST!

Suki is also very comfortable with sit, down, stand, left paw, right paw, and kiss, all on voice command with no food lure or hand signals. Awesome! Next we'll work on roll over, so stay tuned...
