Puppy Obedience

Being the good parents that we are, we enlisted Kodi-May to her first puppy obedience school. When we arrive, i was quite hesitant. There were about 8 other dogs and their owners and believe it or not, Kodi was the smallest of the them all. Some dogs just towered over her!

I have to admit i did not like the socializing part, even though mommy was ok with it. She played quite well with the other dogs, but being so small some of the other dogs knocked her over while they were busy playing with the other dogs. She got picked on a bit but managed to defend herself quite well. She told some dogs off but still managed to have fun.

To be honest if i was at the park and some dog was picking on her and biting her i wouldn't hesitate to go over and give the other dog a quick boot. I think that the puppy training is beneficial not only for the dogs but its also very good for the owners!

I dont know how im going to ever do it if we ever have kids, i am very protective of Kodi and really dont like it when she gets picked on. Even though i know she has to socialize ... (sigh).

I am pretty excited to go to the next class cause i know that Kodi is a lot smarter than the other dogs! Maybe she will even get an award at the end of the 6 week lesson. She knows many tricks now. Sit, Lie Down, Roll Over, Speak, Watch Me, Leave it, Off .... it's pretty crazy how much she knows. She recognizes Me and My wife and when she is asked where mommy and daddy are she perks up her ears and comes looking for us.

We have only had Kodi for 2 weeks but it seems like she's a big part of our family, i cant wait to see her when she's gone, and i'm excited to see her when i come home. My Favorite part of the day is when i have a blanket and she crawls underneath and snuggles close to me! When my wife gets ready for work in the morning i sleep on the floor for an hour with Kodi, she's all excited when i bring the blankets and pillows on the floor because she knows that she can sleep with dad for an hour before work.

Day 1 of puppy training is over ... we will definitely enroll Kodi in many more courses . Even though she doesn't need it ;)
