My favorite class to date! EVERYONE PRACTICED!!!!

[dr2little]

I've always loved what I do and really enjoy every class and individual that I work with...BUT
..I have NEVER had such a wonderful, big group where EVERY, SINGLE dog got the benefit of practice.

I know that all trainers can relate when working with large groups of people and breeds/mixes all together in one class. Life is busy, classes are missed, practice falls to the bottom of the 'to do' list. It's reality.
Not this class. Without exception, every dog had a jaw dropping Emergency Recall and the other 15 commands were amazingly well proofed by graduation today. I was just shy of blubbering when I handed out their Graduation Certificates.
Did I mention I LOVE MY JOB!!!!!

Here they are - I just had to share. (Some are missing from the group shot - all 15 puppies that graduated today are in individual shots, the ones used on their certificates...)

Fun class photo album and videos (SORRY ABOUT HOW SLOW THEY ARE TO LOAD)

I do, seriously BP...every time I walk into class I thank my lucky stars for actually getting to do this for a living. They are all such sweet dogs. Every one of them so special. Seeing their owners give them all that they derserve just makes me melt.

w00t!! I absolutely can relate to that. The frustration when they don't practice, and the joy and pride when they do. It's so much fun to see the students be successful. Give yourself a cookie for being a great teacher.

Thanks CP. It does feel good but it's really all them, the work they put into it always shows in their pups success. I guess I should have baked cookies for HOOOOOMANS that worked so hard!!:rofl1:

Hun, they couldn't do it without your guidance, and they wouldn't do it if you weren't making it sufficiently motivating for them.
