Tonight was Karma’s first of six (or seven?) Puppy Obedience & Manners classes, which is being led by Amaris Hess Garneau, a trainer for Applause Your Paws Dog Training. Since the puppies in this class are too young to have all of their shots, the class is held afterhours in the lobby of my vet’s office, South Kendall Animal Clinic, once the floors have been disinfected. I just wish the lobby floors were a bit more forgiving on puppy joints!
Since it’s summer, getting a big puppy class together like Orso had has been tough for Dee Hoult, owner of Applause Your Paws. Tonight’s class only had Karma & Manny, a Golden Retriever puppy, in it. Despite this, the class was a great experience and Karma got to finally play with a puppy her own age and size instead of the monsters we have at home. This is of particular importance to me because she abuses our adults at home and they don’t react, correct her or even yelp when she bites too hard, so she isn’t learning bite inhibition at home. This class will hopefully teach her to play a little less rough! We also worked a little on engagement and simple obedience, something Karma can definitely use! Orso did all his group classes with Applause Your Paws and they all went awesome so we are hoping for the same results with Karma. Below are some of my favorite shots of the class, enjoy!
