coco's new class

hi!
once again, i'm updating after sucha long time.

Coco has been attending new training. She's learnt to sit down properly, as well as heeling. So what is heeling? Basically, heeling is a command to tell your dog to 'walk'. The command to go coco is 'coco, heel!' then she'll start walking. However, the thing about heeling is you have to ensure that the dog is only on your LEFT. After giving the command, you've to remember that the first step that you take is your 'LEFT' foot. If you walk with your Right foot, and the dog moves. Your dog would have to be choked.

* Note: All dogs that undergo training has to wear a choke chain. Kinda sad but that's the way how their training goes. It is a requirement.

Currently, coco's homework is to Sit and Stay. This is really tough. The trainer actually tempts the dog with food and toys; just to make them move. Then they would get punished when they move. :( poor dogs.

Some quick coco updates:
1. she has been teething. (she lost about 10 ++ of her baby teeth)
2. she loves beef; but too bad she cant eat too much of that
3. she current weighs about 12 kg.
4. on saturday, her friend (a male, white labradoodle) would be coming to play with her. *can't wait to see them interact with each other.
5. she got her hair cut
6. she's grown much taller
7. she LOVES kids; based on the interaction she had with lydia and rachel.

well, i gotta go. tv time, 'the next pussycat dolls' hahaha.

much loves!
<3
