Last night I took Wesley to his first conformation class. I didn't realize there was a CGC test going on too. It made for lots of distractions. I couldn't believe how well he did. He was interested in the other dogs and got to play with two Dachshunds. He also met a couple of very nice children who petted him and gave him treats. He greeted every dog and human with a wagging tail and the kind of body posture that says "Want to be friends?" He stacked up on the table and never moved a foot. He was perfect for the exam including having his bite checked and he got a lot of cookies for being so good. I have been working on his gaiting a little but I didn't expect it to be as good as it was. He trotted around the ring like he owned the place. I got a lot of very nice comments about him. Good boy, Wesley. He will be starting his STAR puppy class on the 13th and I hope he is going to shine there too. I am so delighted with this puppy.
Last week his new adventure was learning how to go up and down the stairs on lead. Talk about a fast learner. He is doing a great job taking one step at a time and not putting any tension on the lead. He was also introduced to box work and caught on very quickly. He really likes shaping games and is already offering cute behaviors when presented with a new object. He met the remote control dinosaur a few days ago. I haven't turned it on yet but he has already learned he can make its head go up and down by tapping it with his paw. Did I mention I am delighted with this puppy?

Go Wesley go Superstar Puppy in the Making! Hooray!
That is what happens when you start stacking puppies at 3 weeks. They know they are going to grow up to be super show dogs. Good work Wesley - and Kathy, too.
