Meadow Completes Basic Training

Our greyhound
Meadow graduated basic obedience tonight. At the end we worked with all the dogs off-leash, and somehow total chaos did not ensue. She even did a down-stay while I walked all the way across the room to get more treats. Then she realized that other people had treats, too, and I became much less interesting. The crowning achievement was when all dogs in the class sat and waited until we crossed the room, then came when called.

Okay, it won't get us on Pet Star any time soon, but at the end of a mere six-week beginner obedience course, the dogs might as well have turned water into beef broth--it was that much of a miracle.

Meadow wasn't perfect (her last act in obedience class was to pee on the floor), but she tried her best.
