Valedictorian

For the last 6 weeks we have been in diligent puppy learning.  If we are honest we have been in puppy learning for a while now, but we decided to take Oliver to the professionals.



Turns out he REALLY is the smartest dog ever.  Basically Oliver taught the class, well he could have at least.

Ruth was our trainer, she was wonderful and really has a great love for dogs.  She tried to trick Oliver into bad behavior so she could try to correct him, but he wouldn't have it.

Oliver met a sweet new friend, Bear.  He is a St. Bernard that is just a few months old.  He gained 20 pounds in our 6 weeks of class!

Oliver was an ideal student.  He sat quietly and took in all of the information from Ruth while his puppy friends eagerly barked at one another.
 After six weeks of practicing sit, stay, lay down, roll over, catch, come don't pull and be awesome it was time to graduate! We actually already knew most of these, but we appreciated the extra knowledge. Ruth gave us a certificate after we aced our final.
And we got to do our graduation walk and lots of pictures!


So proud of our little graduate, now off to puppy college for him! We should have a scholarship somewhere?!?
