CCI - Puppy Raiser Class - 10/16/10

• We started with a  cradle, to help the pups settle and focus.
• Remember when working with the name response, to say your dog's name one time, smile, and if using a treat, bring your treat hand from your dog's face, slowly to yours.
• Everyone did great with the "here" command.
• If your dog resists on the "Sit" command, slide on finger under his collar and wait for your dog to offer the "Sit". 
• The same advice applies if your dog is fussing over the Gentle Leader. One finger under the collar, and wait.
• Passing through the door was a very realistic exercise, and we got to use; Lets Go, Heel, Sit, and Wait.   Nicely done!
• The pups are still a little excitable when playing, but everyone was on top of making sure we had "Four on the floor".
