Bennie had his first puppy class tonight. Lots of fun for him as he got to play with some pups instead of grumpy pants Milo. We're using clickers for training so we each have one. When he's doing something we like, we just click and treat ASAP.

I really like the training schedule. 30 second bites of 1 behaviour a few times during the day. Since the weather is supposed to be nice for a few days, I'll practice outside as well. Tasks for this week are sitting and looking at me, looking at me when I say his name and leave it/take it. I have to admit, I'm looking forward to leave it. He picks up every piece of garbage our walks including 3 pieces of gum that he's eaten. Speaking of walks, they will be shorter in length and longer in time I am supposed to stop walking whenever he pulls and only walk when he stops pulling.
