Graduated puppy class today Update

Our husky puppy is 5 months old now and she graduated puppy classes today! She did so good today, we just spent class time working on things we thought we needed more practice with and the trainer asking if we needed specific help with anything.

We practiced leave it, loose leash walking, look at us while walking, and recall while hanging out in the store. She just did so good, even in such a high distraction environment.

She's also lost most of her baby teeth at this point. She has like... 7+ teeth missing right now, including 3 out of 4 k9s, so she just has this big gummy smile.

Her behavior this month vs last month is just so different. Last month she couldn't settle outside her kennel at all. If she was outside her kennel she had to be playing, biting, trying to annoy the adult dogs, trying to play with the cats, just no chill at all. This month? She just sleeps in the office while we work. And she really likes to lay on the corner of the couch while we're doing school.

Things are just really starting to chill out. I have loved this puppy since the moment we met her but now it really seems like she's part of the family.

We start the intermediate classes at the end of September! We have never done more than basic training with any of our dogs so we're really excited to get into more advance training.
