Dear Holly Spirit Bear,

Thank you for dragging me to your puppy intermediate class tonight. I needed the break from the same old same old. And you did pretty well. Being the kind of breed you are (great pyrenees), instructor and I know that you are not the most sociable dog. You breed tend to be very aloof and solitary, so it was pretty amazing that you only snarled at one dog, an Akita. Well he snarled at you too. not sure who started it (simultaneous). I know you get overwhelmed with 9 other puppies and you do just fine when its one on one. So neither the instructor nor I are too concerned with your bad behavior. You are quite okay with all the people. You just don't like that Akita. Yes that Akita is bit smaller than you. We just need to work on it.

Overall, you did great with leave it, doggie push-up something you hate. Sit-lay down-stand, sit-lay down-stand... Your big long leg makes this a real work out. but you did great with three repetition. And for a Pyrenees you did pretty well with Come... And you did really well with ignoring distractions.

Will keep practicing this week till the next class. And the practice will keep me out of trouble too.

love mom,
