Skooter just didn't do too well. He knows 'sit' and 'flat' but was so distracted in class that he didn't do much of anything. He whined when we walked around to meet the other dogs. He was the only dog who did that. I felt totally unprepared and rushed. It was chaotic for me and I think it was chaotic for Skooter.
