1st Class!

Kailaq (K-eye-lack) a.k.a. Kai for short, went to his first class Sunday! The class we are taking is a preparatory class for the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test. This is a prerequisite for the training necessary to become a certified Therapy Dog. Kai lost focus about half way through the class, and decided to ignore most of my commands (unless I had a treat of course.)

The skill we practiced was having the dog sit and stay while being petted. Overall, Kai did really well, but would not always stay seated after the instructor began petting him (according to the CGC standards, staying seated is mandatory.) Now all we need is practice!
