Last night we started our first of ten weeks with Scotch Pines Dog Training for Lexie. Since I had to take Abby through by myself when she was 6 months, Justin gets to take Lexie. We decided as long as one of us had to go I would take Abby through the class again, although I’m sure I need the refresher more than she does. At the end of ten weeks Lexie will be able to…
- Heel
- Sit
- Down
- Stay (which is REALLY hard for beagles!!)
- Come
- Finish
- Stand for Exam
- Be Reliable off Leash
Justin’s goal this time is to graduate top in the class. I think he’s feeling pretty confident since we have been through before, however, the fact that Lexie is a beagle may be his biggest obstacle. Beagles rank 72 out of 79 breeds for ease of training. The hardest part about the training is finding 40 minutes a day, split into 10 minute sections, to work with the girls.

I'm sure training a dog is harder than training a child...I wonder where Hallie ranks in ease of training...
Good luck with the dog training! What a cutie! (: We don't have a dog, but will eventually get one for our kids I'm sure. Loved hearing from you!
