Ginger's puppy classes are almost over but I can't decide if we should let her graduate or put her through again. She does OK at home and if there aren't many distractions but she hasn't really mastered any of the commands yet. The trainer says that she is the most energetic Golden Retriever she has ever met Despite our best efforts at training her she still does not have as much focus as the other pups in class. On top of that, loose leash walking is a joke unless she is wearing her gentle leader.. I just can't decide if she would benefit from repeating the course or not. She will sit/stay and down/stay while I walk about 10 feet away and will stay there for 20 seconds or so but if ANYTHING distracts her she is off. What are your thoughts? Am I expecting too much from a 3.5 month old puppy?
