13 weeks - 34.3lbs

Hines had his first puppy manners class this week. He was the star of the class!! :) There was a huge not so calm pit bull in the class causing a scene and Hines just sat and stayed calm. Barely even paid any attention to him!! Must be the aggressive tendencies that Dr. Spier saw in him (rolling my eyes). Although I have to admit the pit made me a little nervous. I was deciding in my head the whole time which limb I would sacrifice to protect Hines if he got loose. LOL We worked on the "watch me" command this week. Andrea (our trainer) used Hines as the example for the class and he did not disappoint! He held the command for 5 seconds already!! :) YAY HINES!! We are so proud of our boy!! So our homework for the week was to give Hines 3 new experiences before next weeks class. We didn't waste any time getting started. We took Hines to Pet Smart for a bit and then went and had lunch at Jolli Mons :) He did soooo good!! We practiced our new command and he did very well even with all the distractions of the busy patio.
