In class tonight, when it was Levi's time to demonstrate coming when called he got so much speed built into the action that when he got to Mom and tried to sit he skidded on by another three feet on the polished floor, making everyone laugh. The trainer said, "Now, Jean has made coming when called a high value event for Levi." Actually, she's been working him every day in the back yard on a 90 foot clothes line and half the time all she has to do is open her mouth to call him and he's on his way, not even giving her time to get the words "Levi, come!" out of her mouth . He sure loves those Wellness holistic salmon, lamb and fruit puppy treats.
Now on to another topic: Our blog was presented this sparkling, special award by both Boy Gorgeous George and by Nottie Scottie! Thank you both. I'm giving up boastful pride for angel training so maybe I shouldn't tell you this but Mom's been lusting after this award every since she saw it floating around the dog community. George's came the day of Levi's debut blog entry (see Schnauzer Saturday) which makes it extra special for him but to tell you the truth, I was feeling slightly left out. Then the next day Scottie's nomination showed up on our doorstep. So now we both have one of these very pretty awards!
Now we are pawing it forward to Barksalot Bloyz, Scruffy, Lacie and Stan's Place, The Days of Joann, Candi the Cavalier, Latte and Cookie, and Joe Stains. ©
Suggested Rules for Accepting this Award are:
1) Add the logo of the award to your blog
2) Add a link to the person who awarded it to you
3) Nominate 7 other blogs (I think 7 is a bit too many but I didn't make up this list.)
4) Add links to those blogs on your blog
5) Leave a message for your nominees on their blogs

LS said I'd probably get kicked out of obedience school. Hmm...that's a thought.
Congrats on your award! You certainly deserve it!
Obedience class can be quite trying for me too. I sure can't keep my focus when I'm off leash with Mom! Which is why like your Mom, she is taking her time building on my focus first before going off leash again...we learnt it the hard way at the test last week. >.<" Keep up the great job, Cooper and Levi!
Scottie
Sounds like he is enjoying doggie school.

Hi, Cooper & Levi...
I bet Levi looked cute sliding across the floor...
Sounds like that "Levi, Come" command is really important to your Mom...
Congrats on the Award...You definately deserve it...
Thank you for the sparkluy award. As we've told you before, we love your blog -- and particularly enjoyed Levi's first attempts at communicating.
We haven't shared it yet, but Just Harry has moved on to good literature. Although he still enjoys a good No. 2 pencil chew, chomping a tasty book seems to have given him even greater satisfaction.
At least it's better than chocolate.
Jake and Just Harry
it sounds like Levi is doing great in his training. our mom doesn't think that practicing "come" right next to a busy street is a very smart idea no matter how well trained a dog is. she doesn't believe in putting us in any danger.

Congrats on the award!
Levi, you are doing a wonderful job at obedience school. I hope my mom doesn't read about it and decide to enroll me in a class, too.
Congrats for your award :-)
Cheers
Charlie
Levi is doing better at obedience than we would be! Way to go, Levi!
Congratulations on your award!
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
Your so deserving of the award, you work hard from heaven and I'm so pleased I've fulfilled you Mum's lusting desires (it's my age). As for Levi, well i couldn't believe the sychronicity of his first blog - I's all heaven sent Cooper!
training tip: My Mum & Dad hide from me on walks - damn it spooks me out, I'm NEVER far away now.
Luv 'n' Snuffs
George
Oh Wow, thanks so much for that cool award! We love it.
Sounds like Levi has great recall, maybe he could teach my sis, Gracie, some, BOL!!!!
Woofs, Johann
