We had a great night at training! I was next to Pucca, she was a beautiful border collie. She had a Gentle Leader head collar on and is dog reactive... Well we had to do a walk, sit, mom and her mom shake hands and then walk on. Well I was perfect! HA! Pucca's mom said she needed a calm dog and the trainer said we'll pair you up with Grunt. Well I took one look at that border collie and saw the crazy in her eyes. So I just looked around at nothing in particular. We did this twice! I did everything spot on, except I still will not down on command. During the middle of class we had to walk through a crowd of people. I was doing so good, then the trainer came up to me and gave me some lovin. She said I'm so sweet. Mom was thrilled! :):) We finished class with our down/stays. Which of course I thought mom was speaking french or something cause I didn't understand her at all... When class was over the trainer came up to mom and said, "You guys are doing great! And look, you're smiling." Mom agreed and giggled, saying she's having fun training again. She realizes when she looks down it's me Grunt and not Turner. Once again the trainer gave me some loving and said, "He's a poster child for Pitbulls, he's so sweet. All he wants to do is please." She's right! :):)

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Knew it was just time Mum needed.

The down will come.... has Mum tried it from Sit ... then down... ? Sometimes that helps.

What is really important is you are BOTH enjoying it.
