It's been an interesting week for Miss Groovy. Tuesday was puppy class 5 of 6. Groovy was so well adjusted and "Miss Social". She was giving kisses and love to the guy sitting next to us... yes - I said the GUY! She was totally at ease the whole class - didn't even mind when I handed her leash off to the instructor to do a recall.
Today was dock diving. I think Jack and I had visions of it going a lot better than it did however as I know with other dogs of ours - just because you love water at the beach doesn't mean you love it in a pool. She wasn't about to jump off a dock that's 2 feet off the water for a toy or even for cheese or even for me or Jack. We worked on her just swimming from the top step instead. We'll have to build from there. There were still some very "braggable" moments today though. For one Groovy was again "Miss Social" yet she has never been to this place before or been around any of these people before. She was loving up on everyone and had no reserve at all after about the first 5 minutes there. Amazing and wonderful! The other great moment was after the class was over Jack played a little frisbee with Tali (who we took as a "backup" dog but who never tried the dock diving today). Groovy was totally into what they were doing so when they were done Jack put Tali up and did a few rollers with Groovy. She did amazing! Woo hoo! :)
This week we start a new adventure too! Beginner Agility on Monday nights! Tuesday is puppy class graduation as well. She had to learn a trick for graduation and our trick is "patty cake". Will have to get it on film once it's perfected. It's a trick I taught Mickie but haven't taught anyone else. Groovy got it pretty quickly! She's a smart girl!
