After our recent woes at the Dog Park we decided to attend some classes with Logan and then after our other two. We went to our orientation tonight. It lasted almost 2 hours and we learned so much information. I do a lot of reading and learning about dogs and training and this was great. We have only taken our dogs to PetSmart/Petco courses before and this was totally different (as I expected...).

The trainer was wonderful and very knowledgable. We were able to discuss some of our issues with her one on one afterward. She gave us some great pointers and reconfirmed that we were doing the right things with each of them. I have no problem with training my dogs as far as obedience commands but they each seem to have their own issue to deal with.

Lacey is actually very good. She is a little over attached to me and needs some extra socialization but overall a very good dog. Logan is very shy and scared of new things. He also needs some socialization. If you have read my other entries you know that he is also very protective of Lacey to a point where he whines and gets stressed when she is out of his sight. Lance is very well behaved for a 9 month old puppy. He has shown some early signs of aggression toward other dogs. We have been working with him and things are improving.

I don't know if I am just 'lucky' in that each of my dogs has their own issue or if this is common for all dogs to have things they need work on just like people. I am very excited about our first night of class next Monday with Logan and can't wait to start. For any of you in the Kenosha, WI area I highly recommend her. (Loving Paws LLC)

I have no idea what little Lady ate, but for over an hour now all she has been doing is throwing up. I don't know if she knows to eat grass, so I picked some for her, but she wouldn't take it. My boys ate fruit loops this morning and I know she ate a couple that landed on the floor and then for lunch my fourteen month old fed her a piece of hotdog, but for a little pup to be that sick is SCARY!! I feel so bad and wish that there was something that I could do for her. If she keeps it up then I guess I'll have to take her to the doggy hospital!
