| Re: How would you have handled this?
Well, it sounds like you did just fine. Three different classes a week is quite a bit for a 4 month old puppy.....I'm sure she gets overtired and overstimulated. Take care not to make too many demands on her at this age. When you do your training at home, keep the sessions very short and happy, and give her time to enjoy being a puppy.
If she's the star of two of her three classes, that doesn't sound to me like a puppy who is in a world of her own. It sounds like a puppy who is trying very hard to please you.
When you get home from class, how about sitting down on the floor with her and giving her a nice, relaxing massage to help settle her so she can sleep? She just might need a little help "coming down" after class. |
