We are now in the 7th week of our third set of training classes with three other dogs. Nala loves the class, so we keep signing her up. Last week the other owners were saying how their dogs didn't really like the water and of course we told them that we had created a monster and we couldn't keep Nala out of the water. Our trainer, Jackie, decided it would be beneficial to take a week off from training and have fun. So she brought in two baby pools for the dogs, in hopes that Nala would get the others in the water.
We walked in to class and the pools were already set up. Jackie told us to let Nala off the leash. We warned her that if we let her off the leash she would jump in the pool, but she told us Nala probably wouldn't because they were an unfamiliar setting in class. Well of course we were right. Nala ran and immediately jumped in one pool and did circles and then jumped in the other and did the same. The other dogs just looked at her like she was crazy.
Here are some pictures of last nights class. The first picture is of Nala standing in the pool because she couldn't figure out how to lay down, the pool was too small for her. The second picture is of Maddie, another yellow lab in the class. We had to bribe Maddie with treats to get her in, but finally she gave in. The third picture is of Elsie, a mutt, who hates water. We had to hold her in the pool and she hated every minute of it. The forth picture is of Maddie and Nala playing tug of war. They look so much alike, but Nala is the one on the right with the wet face. She likes to dive under water for treats, so she is typically wet all over. The final picture is of all three dogs in the pool. I couldn't resist I had to get them in there together.
After class it took us about thirty minutes to clean up and squeegee the floor. We will miss class next Thursday because we'll be in Bermuda, but Jackie has extended the class one week for us.
