Another class has come and gone for Mr. Mason…

I am not entirely sure that he is learning much. Today was fairly busy at class and I was more excited about that since last time was quite thin. I really like the socialization that he is getting.

Last night’s class started with some heeling lessons that weren’t going so well. I was just attempting straight lines and his nose wasn’t helping his situation at all. I decided that I wanted to take a step backwards and work with sit, down, and stay since he has those. I talked to the instructor and explained how he was still having problems with ‘down’ but it never fails that when she tries, it works fine. After she did it, he would do it for me multiple times.

I then went back to the heeling and one of the assistants helped me. She showed me how to turn corners when he veered off to the side. She took the lead for a bit and he actually did decent. Pick of the pace and make turns when he isn’t paying attention. Ok I think… I can do this. I try and… kinda. That’s about all I got. Kinda. Maybe next time.

I was just about to leave thinking it was the last time but the instructor swears that we have only been to 5 classes. Oh well. Probably won’t go back until after the holidays because I need to shop next week Monday.
