    School days

    Gunthers first class last night. He got to live the dream-jumping on another pup, rolling on the floor while chewing each other, chasing each other meeting children, and getting petted by strangers. He hit it off well with GSD pup. While the instructor was talking, the two pups wrestled for about 15 minutes. A big bully Eskimo dog jumped him-cute dog but pretty aggressive and into rough play. He slept well on the way home and all night. A good time was had by all.

    It's fun to see pups frollicking with each other.  It definitely tires them out!  I wish Ruby had more playmates, because she needs the outlet, but she plays like the Eskimo dog you described, so 99% of dogs want no part of engaging with her.  She's way too rough.  

    It's great that Gunther will be exposed to the other dogs, kids, strangers, etc. -- it's such a valuable part of their early learning.

    Nice! I love puppy classes. Socialization is so important it really helps a dog so much. Please take pics and post some would love to see them! Remember a tired dog is a good dog. Keep up the good work.

    I am so glad his first class went so well. I remember puppy classes with Shadow. It was the best way to socialize and it allow hubby and I a chance to be on the same page with training Cant wait to see pics.
