Star Pupil!!!

Winston attended his first puppy training class at Pet Smart last night! Of course, he was the STAR pupil! Here he is with the trainer, Lindsey, where she demonstrated the "watch" command. I think Winston thinks "watch" means "EAT!" because he was rewarded with tasty treats and loved it. He is such a ham! Mark says he is like a politician: always shaking hands and winning folks over with his charisma. Winston had a huge night, meeting both human and canine friends and his first shopping trip, too! He had a great time and was very confident and content. He was intimidated by the sliding doors at the entrance but I know he can conquer those soon.

Winston is rapt at attention--must be the tasty treats Lindsey has! Winston has a new girlfriend: Jasmine the Westie.
Another new friend and fellow classmate: a Goldendoodle!

Winston's Shih Tzu classmate:

Winston's other classmates were a 50 pound Mastiff puppy who was a little leery of Winston. There was also a cute mixed breed dog who had a lot of energy and wanted to play. All in all a great group of dogs. We had a super instructor and we look forward to next Tuesday night. Now to work on Winston's homework!
