Sunny July Puppy Field Trip!


Sensible Puppy class members and friends joined together last Saturday afternoon for a gorgeous day at Coxhall Gardens. After a lovely stroll to the Children's Garden, where we worked on leash manners and formal heeling, we played in the buildings, put puppies up on wooden benches and even met a few Dachshunds, passing by. We wandered over to the lake and startled a few dozen geese, and even a heron!
The puppies got to meet several children in our group, including two boys on bicycles. On the bridge over the lake, we met another dog, a pug, who was very curious about our group! The puppies got treats from bronze people-statues and splashed in the cascading water. We ended on the centerpiece, where we discussed strategies for overcoming typical and not-so-typical adolescent issues.
Don't miss out on next month's field trip, where we will visit an agility trial! See you soon!
