Thursday night obedience class

Thursday night I took Toby to his obedience class. Here we just work on obedience. Sits,stays,comes,finish those sort of things. At first his stays were OK. Nothing to write home about. But let me tell you by the end of the night I was very proud of my Angel. The instructor tested these dogs to the max. First she stood behind the dogs and whistled, then she took a glove out of her pocket and started waving it around. She waved it in every dogs face. Toby got up I think twice maybe three times. That was all. Then she went and got a jump bar and brought it over and she dropped it in front of every dog. Toby stayed like a champ. The instructor drug the bar across the field in front of the dogs. Nobody moved. Then she picked up a chair and dropped it in front of each of the dogs. Nobody moved. Then a big loud diesel Dooley truck came in the parking lot. I thought for sure this would get Toby. He turned and watch the truck as I stood there praying that he would not move. Yes I had to go over and give him big treats for staying.

Next we worked on our recalls. Toby did real good at first. Then about half way through he started barking at me and jumping on me. I thought he had to do some business. So I took him over to the side. Yes he had some business. Then we went back over to join the class and once again he started to bark at me and jump on me. I thought that maybe he wasn't finished. Not sure what that was all about but he did not have anymore business to do. The instructor thinks that maybe he was just pulling a stunt on me. What a dog! Next time he will have one chance to do his business and after that he will do what he is suppose to do in class. No more funny games to get out of something.
