I know there has not been much news on DJ’s training classes since I started posting about it. NOPE..it is not because I gave up and did not want to continue. Many things happened in between. When DJ seemed prepared for the exam, other dogs in his class did not seem to be ready. Hence, the trainer gave some extra classes for everyone. While this was going on, DJ kind of sprained his front legs at home and had to miss 2-3 classes. During one of the sessions, exam was held for his classmates.
The trainer was nice enough to put me into another class after DJ fully healed. And the BIG day arrived TODAY….his exam day. I had no doubt he could pass the exam. However, he has his weird moods some days where he even will refuse to walk or do anything the whole day. I prayed hard this would not happen today because I am just too tired to bring him for more classes so that he will pass his exam.
His exam was supposed to start at 10.30am. I was there at 10.15am, to give him some time to get used to the surroundings and also towards other dogs. Due to some misunderstanding of the organizer, the exam only started at around 11.15am. This is not too good for the dogs as most dogs were already feeling tired when the exam started. And this is not good for DJ because during this hour, he found his LOVE interest (a mixed Rottweiler and a Pinscher). Hence when the exam started, he was just looking at her and whenever she moves, he wants to go near her. This was certainly a drawback during the exam.
Although DJ was not able to give me his full concentration today and had some mistakes done during the exam, he still passed :). He did came in last though with a total of 61 points and the highest of the list was a 3 year old shih tzu with marks more than 80 (fyi, his love interest had 66 points). I was a little disappointed with his performance today…but well, he is just a dog and want to have fun..in this case, he wanted to spend time with his new found lady friend :). GOOD WORK DJ! You will get to meet your girlfriend next week at GRADUATION!!!
All getting prepared for the exam
DJ looses his concentration because of his love interest :P
Exam's over and DJ gets to lovey-dovey with his "gf"
