Diary of a Dog! Day 25

More Training today! We worked on "Watch Me" this is where I look at My Lady in the eyes and keep eye contact with her. I like just staring into her eyes. It is kind of relaxing. We also worked on "Drop It" this is a hard command for me sometimes. It is where I have to drop what I have in my mouth. We worked with a crunchy type stuff that My Lady called "Paper" Oh I like paper. It is a lot of fun. It was really hard for me to drop that lovely paper. My Lady said she wanted to work with different things. I think she slipped in the "Take It" command here as well. My Lady is very sneaky.  We also worked on the "Brace" command. My Lady says that I am not really learning "Brace" yet I am just learning how to stand when My Lady says "Brace" She moves my feet and makes me stand square so that my weight is on all four paws. Today we also went to our first day of training class with Aunt Deneen. She is a certified trainer person for the American Kennel Club I get to call her Aunt Deneen cause she is going to be spending lots of time with me and My Lady. Aunt Deneen will train and test me for the Canine Good Citizen Certification. I am not sure what that is really but My Lady said it is a good thing. 

Oh I hope its some kind of big cookie. I do love cookies. 

Today in class we learned how to "Come" to our name only. Ha I passed cause My Lady has already taught me how to come to her with my name. When My Lady calls "Monkey" I know there is something good so I come running. She gives me cookies or gives me lots of love. I like the love better than the cookies. My Lady hugs me all over.
