Guinness's First Dog Show

This past weekend was the Olive Branch Kennel Club dog show, and Guinness went with us. He practiced walking on a lead, sleeping in a crate, and socializing with big dogs. At the end of the weekend he thought he was all grown-up! He didn't have a single accident in his crate, and he walks on a lead perfectly. He's getting much better about barking in his crate at night. He loves to play with the big dogs, especially Kylie the Australian Shepherd.

We have been working on "sit" today and he seems to catch on very quickly! He did well on the grooming table this morning as well, and didn't even try to jump off as I cut his nails and brushed him.

I want Guinness to be acclimated to the noises and smells of every dog show arena, whether it is conformation, obedience, or agility. I want him to be the perfect all-around dog for someone who wants to have a successful start to their own career or just wants the perfect companion.
