She didn't win any trials or anything but she graduated from puppy kindergarten and won some contests!
She got 1st for the most puppy pushups (11 in 1 minute), 1st for the fastest down, and 2nd for the fastest sit. She was rewarded with 2 toys and 2 bags of dog treats! She got a prize in every contest! There were probably 10 dogs total in her class. I think I can safely say that she was the best trained puppy in that class.

Congratulations!!! Having a well trained puppy is a HUGE accomplishment!

I need to go back to having games the last night of my classes. People loved them.
Thanks for the reminder!

Congrats!

It would've been nice to have a dog like Roxie back when I did Junior Handling. Once there was a tie for 1st in my Novice Obedience class. They had 2 trophies, but only 1 prize, so there was a sit off between the 2 dogs. It was a little Pomeranian vs. a giant St. Bernard. They both had quick listening skills and sat immediately, but that big guy's butt was so far from the ground there was no way he was going to win.

Any plans for your post class activities besides showing off to all your friends with untrained dogs? Any agility or Rally-O or trick classes? I would have loved to see a video of that push up contest.

I have to ask...puppy push ups??

Nice!!! Congrats!

Im also curious about push ups..

Congratulations! That's the biggest step towards a rewarding future with a dog -- having a good basic foundation! Well done!

go Roxie!!

YEAH!!!

Thank you everyone! A puppy pushup consists of a sit, a down, and a stand. Roxie tends to stop after a few because she doesn't get a treat for every command. They said that's a sign of a smart dog.

She would be an awesome junior handler dog! Never thought of that....but I don't have a junior handler. Originally, I was going to do agility, but I've had several people at the club say I should consider RallyO and Therapy with her. I think we'll just play it by ear when the time comes. Gonna be about a year before we can even think about agility so we have time. She has the best disposition of any dog I have ever owned. Wish I knew for sure where she gets her personality from.

She is a reflection of yours.
