Butters is starting Dog School at A Better Way Dog Training taught by Bob Gutierrez at Ace Dog Sports. The facility is located in Brisbane off Highway 101 at the Cow Palace / Bayshore Blvd exit.
I was looking to have Butters start dog classes due to his slight lack of impulse control. He gets distracted, and when he gets excited greeting people, he jumps. I also wanted him to learn more than just the basic commands... such as Agility work just to vary the type of training and exercise he gets, so we signed up for Dog Class!
Instead of going to PetCo to hit up our friend and trainer there, I looked on Craigslist and found Bob's advertisement. I looked him up on Yelp where dog owners had praised his methods to fix their aggressive dogs. Butters isn't aggressive, but I figure - if he can help those dogs, he can certainly help us! Plus, we can take Butters past the Advanced Class into Agility work, Companion Dog exercises, and a Canine Good Citizen Certification course. Oh, the possibilities!
So here we are... taking a walk around the area until the first class begins :) A friend likened the photo to a "Mad Max" photo pictured second.
And I guess Butters wanted a bath after, because he jumped into the tub and had both front paws up while he laid in there... I couldn't help but take a photo! :D
