I&#8217;m so proud of him! In the course of 6 weeks he learned so much, and so did I. Honestly the class was more about giving me ways to train my dog, but the added benefit of taking Ammo to a new place, meeting new people (and dogs), really helped to give him more confidence. I&#8217;m excited that we will be taking the Level 2 course starting in mid-May. I know there is a whole world of things Ammo can still learn!<\/p>\n<p>Below is a video of Ammo&#8217;s final test. We still have to work on our loose leash walking as Ammo likes to smell EVERYTHING, but its coming along.<\/p>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_ltAQNpsXL0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<p>At the end of class Ammo was rewarded with his certificate and allowed to choose a toy from the pile.

Not sure why, he never gets in the tub (at least voluntarily), maybe he thought his friend needed a bath. Either way it was pretty adorable. In fact, its now become a regular thing for him.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1255\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/trickponies.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/04\/dsc03623.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1255\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1255\" title=\"ammo\" src=\"http:\/\/trickponies.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/04\/dsc03623.jpg?w=300&#038;resize=300%2C225\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1255\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">How do you turn this thing on?<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On April 22, 2010 Ammo the Dachshund graduated from the Level 1 Basic Manners Class at DTCCC.
