...Gabby goes to Kindergarten

Laura gives Gabby a treat for the appropriate behavior.

The instructor used Gabby to demonstrate "leave it" for the class.

Gabby exits the tunnel.

Gabby crosses the bridge with the encouragement of Laura and the class instructor.

We enrolled Gabby in puppy Kindergarten last night and it was a hoot! She made lots of new friends including a poodle, a corgi, a German Shepard, a Golden Retriever, and a huge bull Mastiff. She learned to respond to a "clicker" and received lots of treats for performing the appropriate task. She did very well with the "leave it" command and the instructor had Gabby demonstrate it for the rest of the class. Yes--we were all so proud!

At the end of the class the puppies got to have recess. They were able to interact with each other and pass through tunnels, cross over bridges, and walk the length of a ladder placed on the floor. Humans and canines alike had fun and we can't wait for next week. Because, every Friday evening for the next eight weeks...Gabby goes to Kindergarten.
