Back to school

The intermediate level course started today. The next 7 weekends will be devoted to Cimbora because we have school  on both days of the weekend, at the crazy hour of 1 at noon. The classes are 1,5-2 hours long and they are very intensive. We were a bit worried because November was a long time ago and we were very lazy and did not really do the 5 minutes sessions at home.
Cimbi was very excited when he realized that we arrived to the school. The difficulties started in the parking lot because a 7 months old Moscowian, Boris, arrived at the same time and he wanted to come to greet me and Cimbi was jelous and growled. (It is a rule at the school that you do not pay attention to other people's dogs and we keep this though I wanted so much to cuddle him...) Soon after the class started the dogs were free to run and ease up a little bit. Needless to say, Cimbi is the largest dog and there was a briard which attacked Cimbi, all I noticed was that Cimbora was on his back - but only for a second - he jumped up immediately and attacked back and he was quite ferocious. The attack caught him unprepared, he was busy smelling another dog and did nto expect this briard to jump on him. Cimbora is not aggressive, he is also not a dominant one, he is very well balanced dog and he will of course protect himself. Anyway, the trainer instructed the whole pack (including owners and dogs) to chase Cimbora and the briard to teach them thatthe pack does not tolerate this behaviour. Cimbi was not happy and this whole incident was not his fault, nevertheless, he has been so naughty lately during the walks that this chasing did him good. Once the positions were cleared, the training could start, lol.
Our schholboy is sleeping now by my side, he is soooo exhausted, lol.
