Last night I took Knight to the dog club for his first Novice Obedience class. We started with Long sits and downs. Knight had stellar focus, ears perked and looking straight at me for the majority of the time :)
We had a bit of a focus issue when it came to heeling lol. There was another Papillon in the class that looked a little too much like Lilly that Knight thought was his bestest friend EVER. Haha, so we have plenty of room to grow.
I got some tips to clean up Knight's finish, I'll start working on that more in these upcoming weeks. I think I'm going to hold off on putting him into the Beginner's Novice ring until April. By then I might even be confident enough to go straight to Novice haha. Plus he'll have his RN, and some ring experience in agility too.
Whenever I mention my plans for obedience with Knight the word "boring" comes up. Am I the only one who doesn't find obedience boring? I think it's beautiful. Working up to snapping teamwork in a sport that's not high drive. Plus, Knight has so much personality he could make watching grass grow exciting xD
