Next week is the last week - test and graduation.
I have to say that overall, I am very, very pleased with the Petsmart class we participated in. We got what we expected and much more out of the class. A dog that has learned how to learn - and a dog who is less freaked out by new places, people, and situations.
Overall, it was well worth my $109.

Not sure if we'll keep going at Petsmart or just work on it at home by ourselves. At class they worked on look, sit, down, sit/stay, down/stay, leave it, come, settle, and loose leash walking. On our own during the time she's been going to class we've taught her shake, other paw, off, speak, and sit pretty - although that one's still a work in progress because we have slippery floors. lol The secret is what I call the miracle treat - Pet Botanics rolled meat - Babe will do anything asked to get even the tiniest nibble of this stuff. I even got her to hop over a piece of pvc pipe for some yesterday.

We may do one eventually but it's not in the budget right now as we are planning for our wedding next summer.
