'Yes, your dog can sit, but can your dog sit on different footing? Can he sit on wooden slats, can he sit on bubble wrap? Can he sit with many distractions?'
There is time to play too. Twice during class the dogs have running around and PLAY time. The trick is to have more toys than dogs, and even then, there often are more dogs attached to one favorite toy.
Yes, at the moment we have only black puppies in class, which makes it sometimes hard to recognize who is who during play time. Maybe some day we'll take the wrong dog home...

Yeah, I was gonna say, that's an awful lot of black dogs!
My dog can sit but she doesn't understand "sit" as in the word I'm saying. She just gets it from context or by trial and error. So now I'm teaching her a hand signal for sit.
Yeah, Giant can do hand signals too. He is supposed to sit with either word / hand signal or both. I usually do both, I should practice more with only one of them. I just have trained myself too much to use the both ^^

That's so cool that you are training a guide dog. Can't wait to see how the training progresses
