Pepper didn’t explode when we went into PetSmart today. I had my hotdogs and kibble ready. She just had woken from her nap and we played in the yard prior or and sniffed the parking lot before we went into class.
We had to stay in our square, she did get a close sniff with a puppy pit bull mix no isssues at all. She did whine and try to get that puppies attention in class though haha because class was SLOW. Too slow for me and too slow for Pepper.
She was getting worked up because of how slow the class was. Initially, totally fine and well behaved for a long time. Her adhd kicked in rightfully so as did mine. She lasted a good while before it happened and that made me happy, because she was doing well.
As far as the class it was what I expected nothing special, which is okay. I was wanting her to accept, ignore, and be calm around other dogs. Pepper did just that today. We left class and she saw an older German Shepard she didn’t care and kept it moving. Not sure what happened, but we went down an isle to look at toys and she lost her mind. Pepper exploded as she saw the GS walk past the isle. We exited and it was a commotion.
All in all I’m proud of her she did well and I think we will go back for experience and exposure. As for training I’m confident she’s doing just fine with me. Also, all the puppies were 8 months to a year lol.
