Well, tonight was our third week of class (2nd week w/ Logan as the first was orientation) and he is doing very well. He seems to get along well with the other dogs and even the people that are there. He seemed to be afraid of new people before so I am not sure if it is just the environment and the fact they have treats to give him that is making him like them or not.

We still have to work on doggie greetings as he likes to bark and sometimes whines when he sees another dog. I think he is just excited to see them. Next week we get to come in to class a little early as there is a puppy class right before our and Logan gets to come in and practice some greetings. This should prove to be very interesting...

I have heard for a long time that dogs cannot see TV. I have had doubts about this as well as it has often looked like my dogs were staring at the TV and actually watching it. I have heard arguments that this is because of the sound and moving colors on the screen.

Last night I was about to sit down and watch an episode of 'Underdog To Wonderdog' that I had previously Tivo-ed. I had it paused on a screen with a clear picture of a dog staring straight ahead while I was was in the kitchen. I heard Logan bark. I came around the corner and he was on the floor staring at the TV. Keep in mind the TV was paused so there was no movement nor sound to accompany this picture.

I picked him up and held him level with the television. He starred at the screen trembling slightly and growling lowly which he also does when he sees dogs out our front window. After this I am convinced that they can see what is on the TV screen.
