Chessie has pretty intense issues when it comes to interacting with other dogs. Since day 1 she's always whined and yelped pitifully (in a scared way) whenever we pass another dog on the sidewalk or see one at the vet. We were pretty afraid she'd get booted from the class for this -- dogs must be "dog friendly" -- so called ahead and checked about refund policy etc. The first class was tonight and I was nervous all day.
HAHA. She was easily the best behaved pup there and didn't bark once at the other dogs! I was so happy and proud!! The other dogs in the class are SO sweet and I'm excited for Chessie to have new friends. All that work we've done in the last couple of weeks -- calming her when we see passing dogs, treats falling from the sky, decreasing the distance she can be from the other dog without flipping out -- really paid off. I am so excited for next week.
