Cooper Graduates!

Last Sunday, Cooper (our 6 month old Rhodesian Ridgeback) graduated from his 8 week training course at Petsmart. Cade and I have had fun taking him to training every Sunday for an hour. It was a beginners course, and he learned everything from sitting, to leaving things alone that he isn't supposed to mess with (we still have to work quite a bit on the "leave it" command!).

Part of our class was always to spend a little time out in the store working on all of the commands while there are many distractions happening. Cooper's favorite places were always the fish tanks and where the kittens are kept!

The proud and lazy new grad....

our big boy! Cooper changed alot over the course of 8 weeks! It was always funny to hear our classmates reactions when we walked in each week. He at least doubled in size during those weeks! Wish I had a picture of him in his 1st class!


Cade and I with the grad : )....we are planning on starting him in an intermediate training class at the end of August.
