For puppy class you need the usual training collar and leash and treats and most important is to have a hungary puppy so she will work for the treats. You can either cut out the meal before class or cut back on what she normally gets. She will work much better if she is hungary and really wants those treats!!! Have fun!!

to start puppy class she must have finished all her shots, including rabies.
you might better check again, since it sounds, she isn't finish with her shots yet, you said she just had her second round of Parvo.
i agree with bree's mom on the hungry puppy, they work so much better then

Sorry about that I forgot that we took off her Rabies tag (cause it was jingling with her name tag, it was get on everyone's nerves) but she did get one as well as a shot for kennel cough too. The puppy class only wanted to make sure that she had her kennel cough as a major shot before she starts.
I'll keep that in mind and bring a baggie with her the really good treats that we have. Good I can always use some help on the leash training. She likes to pull me even when I try to stop and wait for her, she starts pulling me again.
she will get there, mean walking on a leash, it will takes time and lots of patients. Apollo is 1 now and we still have to practice walking easy on a leash from time to time 
, you see, you have a long way ahead of you. enjoy the puppy class, its so much fun and after that try to get into another one, it always will help you and the little one and help a lot with socialising the pup

Cooper had to go for his Bordetella vax today (required for OB classes), so we got a weight on him..40.8
9 weeks....16.4
12 weeks...23.7
15 weeks...30.0
19 weeks...40.8
Oh!.. and he lost not ONE but TWO teeth today. He was laying on his bed with a rawhide this morning and I heard something hit the flloor. I thought he had chewed the zipper off his bed(he tries to be sneaky like that).. turns out, it was a molar..lol
A little later, he was runnin around in the yard with a stick and I told him to drop it.. he did, but when he came inside, I saw him chewing something, told him to drop it again and he spit out another tooth. The toothfairy thought that deserved a special treat..and went out and got him an everlasting fun ball

Well, I weighed Riley (on a home scale) today and got somewere between 46 and 47 pounds, this is at 23 weeks/5 days (so just short of 6 mos). When I would lean over to see, the needle would jiggle, lol. So, her weight gain has DEFINITELY slowed down. Wonder if it will pick back up? From 3 lbs/week to one? And I wonder if our little run-in with the food swap disaster had anything to do with it.
Poor baby.Anyway, I also attempted to measure her the other day and got around 23.5 inches...

Ok so I finally get to add to this thread, 
I weighed Demon on Sat when I did heartworm for everyone he weighed in at 36lbs and I took him to the feedstore yesterday with me to get food for everyone and he weighed in at 37lbs. He was 4 months old on Wed the 24th
*fyi* Penny weighed in at 63lbs, Orion was 74lbs and Phoenix was 79lbs, oh and Phoebe stays fairly steady at 35 to 36 lbs.

We have an Animal Emergency Hospital VERY close to us. 2 miles away at most...
We check the weight on the ladies every 3 days and keep really detailed records. (Made a really cool graph on the laptop! hehehe!) We ONLY visit this particular Vet to use the scale there and we always compare the readings we get when we take them to their regular Vet and use his scale.
We will record their weight taken at their regular Vet whenever we go and then check them again on the way home using the scale at the Animal Emergency Hospital.
Stuff I have noticed...
Even though we ALWAYS hit the 'zero' button first and ALWAYS make them sit still in the middle of whatever scale we are using at the time, We NEVER get the same numbers from different scales at different places... :no2:
One day, We weighed them at their Vet during an ear appointment, Then weighed them at a different Vet before getting some shots, then weighed them on the way home at the Animal Emergency Hospital (their 'normal' Vet for checking weight...).
We got different numbers at each place that day with a 2 lb max spread between numbers... We ALWAYS hit the zero button and ALWAYS make them sit still in the middle of each scale... Not all scales are accurate. I am SURE of this.
At 14 weeks, The girls are currently gaining between a 1/2 pound to a pound every three days. We will post our graph once they get to @40 or so lbs each...
We give them lots of bread and tortillias as treats to help make their butts bigger...
One girl is an 'inhaler' and one takes her sweet time and LOVES to make a mess. The 'inhaler' has to watch her sister finish her treat and she is NOT allowed to mess with her until she is done. NOT our fault that she didn't take the time to taste her bread any before swallowing it... :no2:
(The 'inhaler' is 'watching' her sister in the lower right corner of this picture... She is NOT allowed to help sister finish her treat.)

I wouldn't be too sure...I thought Shanoa would be "petite" because she was pretty low weight and height. Now's she's pretty much exactly where she should be for breed standard. She's almost 70 pounds at 15 months. I think her height is about 25-26 inches. She's not a huge, but I wouldn't call her petite.
