Tip Tail

Well, USDAA today… we did teams. Teams is pretty cool in that you run the same courses for all dogs. So there’s not started, advanced, or elite levels. So the courses were pretty challenging. I’ll use that as an excuse for not qualifying. However, Chase does run at the excellent level in AKC agility so [...]

So I have been teaching Tatum some different agility obstacles. I’ve gone over to my friend and trainer’s house a bit and we got her on the teeter there, the dog walk, in the tunnel, and in the chute. I was amazed at how unafraid she was! So tonight here at home I put her [...]

This spring has been hard on my physical well being… I do wish I didn’t have to work, then I could rest up and train on the weekends.
