Puppy Class - failure

Last night was Merlots first day of puppy class, we have been working all week long on the "homework" so that we would be ok during class. Well after about 1/2 the class Merlot decided to maybe listen to me and my commands, how embarrassing. She wanted to meet and play with all the other puppies and not do her work. So I kept trying while the teacher went around the room asking for all the other puppies to show her what they learned. Denise is the instructor says that next week should be better for Merlot, the end of class way play time, finally Merlot was able to visit will all her new friends. The classroom was divided in two little dogs on the right and big dogs on the left, Merlot was with the big dogs until the instructor wanted to see how she would do with the little dogs, fine with me, the German Shepard (Max) of 65 lbs kept Merlot running. Merlot even rolled herself to get away from Max.

The little dogs really didn't care if Merlot was there or not, The Boston/Frechie mix had to be in her own corner because she asked like she was getting killed when she is on the ground with the little dogs, the screeching and screaming was incredible. Merlot was asked to get in the pen with the mix her name is Marley, Marley liked Merlot and Merlot like Marley but Marleys mom was very nervous. Merlot was the best relaxed puppy so she wins the prize for being able to be with the baby Marley.

Mo the Boxer was very cute, her owner doesn't think can do anything right... ist the owner that needs help here.
I cannot remember the Chocolate labs name Ginger or something, she very smart and does all commands without question.
The no name labrodooble was pushy and had to have time out. Over 4 months w/out a name, WOW
Hunter the other labrodooble is very nice but wanted to try to mount Merlot, good luck with that little dude.
Max the German Shepard is to old and to big for class, I hope He graduates to the next level for next week.
Marley the Boston/Frenchy will never go to a bog park and never want on the ground, her mom needs to relax.

I felt worn out by the end of the hour class. Can't wait for next week. Maybe next week Bob can run Merlot before I get home. Last night he was plowing snow so Merlot was in her Kennel when I got home, quick potty and then off to class we went, next week will be better.
