Star of Puppy class

At puppy class this week Deedee was on top form.  She did her sits and downs on cue every time.  She walked well on her lead around the cones.  However this week was the week we did recall and I was a bit nervous about this.  The trainer took each puppy to the other side of the hall and encouraged their families to call them back to them and I got more nervous as each puppy successfully ran up to their owners.  When it came round to Deedee's turn the trainer asked me if I wanted to do this, and I replied "yes of course"! We have a system, not tried it anywhere other than home, but I was prepared to give it a go.  We have a secret weapon which is a torch that we use to bring Deedee in out of the garden.  I was not sure whether she would respond to it in the light of the hall with all the distractions of the other dogs and people, but we were prepared to try.  I was so proud of her when the trainer let her off the lead, I flashed the torch twice and she came straight to me, didn't even look anywhere else, just straight to me for her treat.  She did this twice.  Everyone was very impressed with her.  Well done Deedee :)
