Puppy Kindergarden

Tonight Merlin and I will be taking our first Puppy Kindergarden Class. I surfed the net and found a very reputable trainer whom the papers refer to as the "dog whisperer". This is due to his success with even the most aggressive or dogs with behavior problems. Not that Merlin has any of these behaviors as he's just a sweet little boy but I think training of any sort helps prevent this.

The book: The Dog Whisperer: A Compassionate, Nonviolent Approach to Dog Training, by Paul Owens, Norma Eckroate

Cesar's Way : The Natural, Everyday Guide to Understanding and Correcting Common Dog Problems (Hardcover), by Cesar Millan, Melissa Jo Peltier

People Training for Dogs, Cesar Milan's DVD

Puppy Kindergarden will teach the sit,down,stay, heel and one or two other things. Most importantly it's to socialize the dog early in life with other people and dogs.

Will let you know how things progress and will pass on any helpful tips I may aquire.

There'a several good trainers in our area, but they will not let you go to any of their classes until you go through their first set of training (kindergaten) sessions.
And they are 15-20 miles away, which isn't that bad, but ...

Abbi can sit, lay, heel(and I hoe heal), speak, retrieve and get her leash, fetch, and we are working on rolling over (she doesn't like to roll over for some reason). She loves getting all the hugs and kisses from the elementary kids here. But we are still working on the stay command.

Good luck and have fun with Merlin. If my memory isn't playing tricks on me, Merlin isn't your first, so you know about patience already.
I took Abbi to the Petco last wekend to buy new food and toys n stuff for the birds. It was her first time there and they were having an adoption drive. It was a blast! Abbi was a darling. I love the socialization stuff! :D
