One Down . . .

So . . . it began. We had our very first lesson last night. Needless to say, both Grady and I agreed, our trainer Julie seemed a little overwhelmed with Salsa. I don't think she was expecting her to be quite as hyper as she IS! BUT- she stuck to it . . . and to be honest, I could see a bit of difference in her walking on a leash. She ALWAYS pulls and tugs and MUST be the leader . . . though last night she was actually walking beside us! THIS was an improvement! She also gave us a few ideas about her jumping on people . . . as well as a "clicker"- you know those noise makers used to be associated with something "good." It's really interesting. At this point, Grady and I are both very motivated and are excited to work with her . . . of course, this is day one.
