Orientation class for Skooter - Homework

I went to the orientation class for Skooter. There were four other dog owners there. The instructor is Ruth and her assistant is Kristi. We went over the Orientation Packet (what to bring to class, etc.). I gave Kristi Skooter's vet records. Ruth told us to get the dogs vaccinated for kennel cough (bortadella). We talked about the two 15 minute private sessions.
We will say 'flat' instead 'down'.
We will say 'wait' instead of 'stay'.
Give a command, tell them 'break' to end the command momentarily and say 'game over' to end the session with them.
There will be homework and quizzes.
There is a 'Treat Test' sheet to fill out.
Bring the folder they handed out every week.
Read the new handouts for next week: 'Rules for Relationship Based Training' and CSABR&T Fact Sheet
I'm still anxious about how Skooter will be in class. I know we're there for training and he's not suppose to know everything, but I'm such a perfectionist. Oh well, I'm sure things will go okay.
