Finally... Colie's first day training.

I was so excited when I woke up in the morning...
But, after the lesson, I felt that the first lesson was not nice.

I went to the park at 8 a.m.
I registered colie at the registration counter there.
I also received a goodies bag.
There are my training t-shirt, calender of the training, a booklet of what colie is going to learn, a hat batch , a key chain and 2 booklet on science plan(dog food brand) in my goodies bag.
All with the logo of MNAWF(Malaysia National Animal Welfare Foundation) and love all life. :D
Then, they told me that they were going to held a ceremony for the senior dogs that passed their exams.
So, the training will only starts at 9 a.m.

At 9 a.m.
The trainers called all the beginner dogs and owners to gather at a side of the field.
They then explain the rules and regulation of the park and how to be a leader to your dog.
I knew the rules and regulation earlier, then when they say about how to be a leader, Colie's problem is that he can sit or sleep at my bed or sofa.
The trainers said that they should not be doing this.

They spend about 45 minutes to talk.
During the last 15 minutes, they were telling us on how to put on a collar, what collar should you buy and how long your leash should be.

Lastly, the trainer called us to walk our dogs around her.
While colie is performing the walk...
He suddenly squads down and pooped right in front of the trainer !!!
Oh my god...
It was so embarrassing !!
I had to pick up the poop in front of everyone...
Kinda bad luck right ?
We went home after that.

I am thinking...
I just wasted 1 lesson.
The trainers took 1 lesson(1 hour) just to talk !!
Hope that training really starts on second lesson.

What course is colie in.
