Pretty basic class #1, nothing we couldnt have done for free at home, but it is getting us organized to get this done and more importantly it was great socialization for her. It is an all positive reward style, interupt and redirect negative behaviours, absolutley no punishment, so no worries there. 9 more classes to go. We had a few puppies in the class, a black Lab and a Boxer were our favourites. 1 h class = 1 very tired out puppy.

The most interesting thing I learned in the class wasn't about trining Aero at all. The instructer shows/trians her own St. Bernards and she says she purposefully doesnt teach her dogs "sit" and doesnt allow anyone to praise/pet them if they do, because in the show ring you dont want that behaviour when stopped and being evaulated by the judge. Interesting.
