Bottom of the class...

Well, the good news is Jacob survived his first puppy class, but the really good news is he gave me something interesting the write about! Do you want to hear about cowering between my legs the entire time, running around the back of the hall to eat moss twice, or being the worst in the whole class at recalls?
The dogs in the class are funny. We were outside a village hall, and some weeks we will go inside.The dogs I remember most are Stanley-huge ginger German Sheppard puppy, Meringue dog-too small for even Jacob to be scared of, and the naugtiest Golden Retriever puppy ever, Dixie. There was also a Sky Terrier called Rosie, a weird mongrel thingy, and 600 black labradors, all still going to puppy classes. First thing we did was let the dogs off their leads, at which point 5 huge dogs came and cornered Jacob, leaving him only with a hiding place of between my legs. Not particually funny, especially when Jacob started squealing.
Then we put them back on their leads to walk them around a bit, but naurally Jacob would not move. The leader told me to take him off his lead, and just walk him round. But Jacob strangely found his confidence as I took his lead off, and ran away round the back of the hall to eat some moss. I got him back, and surprise surprsie he ran off again, even quicker this time. I put him back on his lead, and walked him round.
Sitting and lying down went very welll, as did the vetinary check(when you look at their teeth, eyes, legs and ribs to check health), but when we got in a circle to do recalls, Jacob decided he had lost his confidence. He cowered next to my leg until it was out go, when he fell over because I moved my legs. I went to the opposite side of the circle, and called "Jacob!" alot. But Jacob was now cowering against the teachers legs, and did not want to move. In the end, she had to drag him halfway, then get me to come meet him and run off so he followed. Ooops! I dont think he knowws his name.
Class finished with us joint bottom place with the a beagle, Maisie. She ran the wrong way when she was called. Dixie just ran off, but at least they moved. Anyway, must go, school soon! Bye
