We visited Taco briefly this Saturday since it’s the end of the month and time to pay the trainer his monthly dog training fee. Also, I’ll be leaving to go to Europe for a month next week and I want to see the little guy once more people I go.
There were quite a few people at the dog training facility since it was the weekend and many other families were their to visit their dogs and see how they are improving. There were at least five other groups there and they were all dealing with a different trainer. I had never seen the place so crowded since we usually go there earlier in the day or on a weekday when we are the only ones there.
The trainer put Taco through his paces to demonstrate his progress before bringing him to us. It seems that Taco has picked up some basic commands in his two months, but is having trouble staying focused so he’ll often break from his position rather quickly. However, the trainer said that this is typical of his age and his breed. He says beagles tend to be stubborn and need a lot of work before they will listen consistently. Great! Well, he has one more month to drill these commands into Taco’s brain before we get him back and then it’ll be up to us.
