Good News and Bad News

Hi All,
Baron attended his 2nd Novice Dog Obedience Class on Tuesday.  Believe it or not, there is a lot of good news.
1) Baron did not cry, bark and pace for the entire night after his dog obedience class; for those of us who live with him, this was huge!
2) Baron was not the worst dog in the class.
OK, maybe there isn't a lot of good news, but there was some.  Now on to the bad news.
1) Baron was the 2nd worst dog in the class.  Most class members might remember Baron as the worst, but the worst was a miniature dachshund.  This dog was so small that no one noticed him, so Baron got a bad wrap. 
2) The trainer had to correct Baron several times in front of the other students.  He was quite embarrassed, to say nothing of his beloved handler (that would be me).
Normally, I might suggest that Baron's future in dog obedience classes or, heaven forbid, trials, is severely limited.  Unfortunately, master (aka my husband) thinks dog obedience trials give Baron something to work toward.  I think master is slightly deranged.
All for now,
