I Did It!!

Ellie here pawing at the keyboard.  Yoda & Brutus are sleeping so I thought I would let you know all about my final training class.  This was the advanced training class at PetSmart (I love my instructor Craig, he is the best!!)

Anyway, I finally graduated!!  It has been a long process (18 weeks in total of training from beginner to intermediate and then finally advanced).  I still have some things I need to work on before I can take the CGC test, but I am well on my way.  I still have some issues with people - hey, if you don't have a treat I don't want anything to do with you and I will bark like a crazy girl at you.

Here I am doing my sit/stay.  Mom was too busy to get any other pictures during the graduation test.

What's that you got there Dad?  A diploma for me!!  Yay!!!  It was alot of hard work, but the treats made it well worth it.  Mom says that I have to keep up with my training so that I can be a CGC.

   

Here is my diploma and class picture - the other two dogs that graduated with me are Buddy & Mandy.

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!!

A Graduation!!

Ellie here pawing at the keyboard...  I haven't yet had a chance to tell you all about my graduation from the beginner education course I took at PetSmart.

Of course I graduated...  I am a smart puppy - just like my furiend Archie!!

My instructor took us out into the store to test us on everything that me and my pawrents had learned.  Needless to say, I passed with flying colors.  The instructor said that my pawrents need to continue working on things with me to help me get them down pat so that I can start the intermediate course at the end of August!!

Here is my graduation certificate...

 ...and my Graduation picture.  The Irish Setter that graduated with me is named Jake - look at him sticking his tongue out at me!

I can't wait to start my next class!!  The instructor, Craig, is a super cool guy and I can't wait to see him again (he always has yummy treats for me).
