Stop the Presses!

Yes, it's true! The day we've all been waiting for has finally arrived—Nikki has graduated from Intermediate Dog Obediance School at PetsMart. Yeah! She has learned to Sit Stay, Come with Distractions, Stand, Leave It - Take It, Down Stay, to name a few. She performed in class so why not at home. Because she wears the Gentle Leader in class, that's why! You can see her in the foreground with the Gentle Leader (the red) around her head.

The other 3 dogs graduated today also. I found out that Bella, the blond Lab who is 16 days older than NIkki, now weighs 65 lbs. It will be interesting to see if NIkki catches up with her.

All of us are interested in the Advanced class. I'm also interested in taking her to a personal dog trainer. The better trained she is, the more fun things we can do together.
