Leila graduated today (with pics) - Maltese Dogs Forum : Spoiled Maltese Forums

Leila graduated puppy training classes this afternoon.

We had a hard time getting her to keep her cap on and in the picture, you can't even tell it's a graduation cap the way it slid back and her hair is squished from the elastic. In the group picture, it looks like her gown is flying away, haha. I made her cap and gown last night and hope she'll still be able to wear it at the graduation from Intermediate classes. Those start the weekend after Thanksgiving.

Congratulations Leila!
You look very smart in your cap and gown.
I hope you enjoyed puppy class.

Oh Leila you are such a cutie, and I bet you were tops in your class!!!

Congratulations to the cutest little graduate I've ever seen

Congratulations little Leila. It was hard work, but you will be able to get a high paying job now...or rest on your laurels.

It's amazing how much difference it makes behaviorally when puppies go through puppy classes and then on to at least Level I obedience.

Thanks, everyone! Yes, it does make a difference! Before these classes, all she wanted to do was bite when I tried to play or love on her. Now I can sit on the floor and do tricks with her without any biting. She and I both love it! She still has to get treats for most things, but we will keep working on it and hopefully, she can do all the ones we've been learning without treats before the Intermediate classes start. She's doing just as we'll, if not better, than the other puppies in her class.
