Obedience round 2

I went to the Bigger Brain for one more obedience lesson, before I try a class lesson with other dogs. Kai my usually energetic dog has decided that she is going to be very mellow at this place. No jumping, no fetching, no pulling her leash. Meets another dog and chills by the fence she knows I went out of earlier. We work on her walking and I end up buying a different leash. It seems to work and she loves the hot dog treats that I buy her and chop up for treats as we walk. Fast forward, she is being complimented by people for not pulling on her leash, so I try just a few minutes ago with her old leash. We walked this morning no problem, but that was on her new leash. Now the squirrels are being lunged for, and she is choking herself trying to get to them. Chicken hot dogs I guess do not smell as nice or are as fun to chase as a squirrel. So I cut our walk short. She seemed surprised but waht am I to do when she is choking herself. Does that affect her, NO. She is now running around my house playing soccer with herself. At least she finds things to do. But today I had to put her into time out. She was chewing the undersides of my chairs in the living room. The stuff that covers the springs. If you look at it from across the room it looks like I have a thousand years of cobwebs under the chair. So I put her in a three minute time out. She has not gone back to trying to pull it down again, but did try to eat my Native American throw on the back of the couch. That is now in the bedroom with all the other things that I have to hide from her. My room is a storage closet for all things Kai chewable that can be removed from her jaws of chaos. Puppies so much fun, ha ha ha. Hope the family can handle it tonight, I am off to book club, yeah me I get a break.
