Salty's Obedience Class

Salty had his Obedience class today, by Patrick Wong. We came early, early as in 1 hour early. I thought we're at the wrong place, because there's no one around, except my sister, me and my sister's boyfriend together with the dog.

Yup, no. We're not late. The rest are finding their way towards 309B at AMK.

I can't take any photos, because my sister notice Patrick's face was black. Whatever. I managed to take a photo of his car though. =x


See, this is his car. Expensive right? $450 per student, and the class is like around 10+ students. Wow, he earned that much for just giving lessons. Nice~

Anyway, his car isn't the one I fancy. I prefer Mini Cooper or Suzuki Swift. They're nice cars. If you notice, Micky prefer smaller cars. Hehe . . .


The lesson was held at a car park near Caltex the patrol station. Nice~ And Salty almost peed on me. Naughty Boy!


Nope, I'm not trying to take a picture of Salty. I'm trying to take a picture of the dog beside it. It's cute! But it isn't the breed I'm interested in.

Micky's future dog will be a female of course, and the breed is . . . CORGI! It's a nice dog. :D

Anyway, the lesson for today was to teach you how to walk the dog on your left. Always on your left. And how to stop and ask the dog to sit, as well as make your turn. Although it seem simple without the dog, but when you're with the dog, a total mess.

Because, they'll get distracted easily because they want to make friends with one another. I can see that. It's a good thing, Salty didn't really bark much today. Patrick was kind of surprise by Salty's name. Yup, Salty.

Anyway, other than teaching how to walk the dog, we also learned how to make the dog sit if he doesn't want to. And yes, if your dog doesn't want to walk, drag them and walk slowly for a few steps and stop. Continue the process till they walk. Interesting isn't it?

Anyway, the lesson also taught us how to divert the dog's attention when they try to run towards another dog. Interesting. Although I said I wasn't paying attention during classes and learned nothing to Baby, but yes, although I wasn't really paying attention, I do remember at least these few.

Saw this Golden Retriever who was a champion for quite a few time. Quite obedient. As in when the owner asked him to sit, he sit. Ask him to stay, he stay. Ask him to fetch, he fetch. Ask him to go, he go, and shouted down immediately, HE WENT DOWN!

There's poodle in the area. Not my type of poodle though. Oh, and there's a dalmatian that came for practice only. He's deaf, but he remembers command through senses. Poor boy.

I got a bit of distracted and tired when the class has started about half way through. It's almost a 2hours lesson, with break in between. I must emphasis on this.

Anyway, went to Serangoon North today to get a silent wheel for the kids to be placed in the tank. Changed 2 food that we bought wrongly to Emotions that has Omega 6 in it, we just have to add $1.50 more for it.

Went to SengKang block 268D, to get 10packets of Vitakraft Wellness, that has Omega 3. Nice~ 3 packets to Baby's friend, and the rest we keep. My kids are fortunate, because they have all the food they could ever ask for.
