Noche' went to class last night at "Waggin Tails" in Menomonie - it doubles as a doggie daycare during the day so was kind of interestingly set up - old, ratty sofas with a matted floor. There were 5 other pups - a basset x lab - a springer - a toy poodle - a chihuahua - a very little baby lab, I think he was 5.5 week old - and Noche' which is a nice size class for puppies. It was pretty much an intro class, getting the pups used to being in a strange place - Noche was quite the gadabout which of course made me glad to see. This was her first trip alone in the van (in a crate of course) and she barked the first 10 minutes - thank goodness that stopped as she has a very loud and forceful bark for a pup. She's quite the independent one - we used food to lure the puppies into a recall sort of exercise and she turned her nose up at the cheese (Wisconsin aged Colby, at that, from Eau Galle!) and preferred visiting the other people to me and my cheese.
I'll be very interested to hear how the other pups are doing at their kindergarden classes -
