LOL, Bella's first day of school didn't quite go the way we'd hoped. She was so painfully shy, sat shivering with her tail tucked between her legs, either under my chair or on my lap. Poor girl!
Of course it didn't help that every other puppy in the class was MUCH bigger. There were 2 Boxers, a German Sheppard, 2 Labs, a Bull Terrier and a Lab/Collie X. She's only used to being around my mother's teacup poodles, so she took one look at these extroverted monsters and said "Ooooh crap!"
The instructor seems really good though, and has high hopes that Bella will come out of her shell over the next couple classes.
And she wasn't too traumatized.. 2 minutes at home she was bounding around the back yard, tail wagging, and whirley-gigging as usual!
