So I’m working Sits and Downs with Jet and Tatum. As well as signals with Chase… which is similar, for utility obedience, but it’s all hand signals and no verbals. I want them all to have good verbals as well as hand signals. Their sits and downs are great on their own, but when [...]

Jet came with to the agility trial last weekend and he had a great time. He is such a good boy. I hope he stays a puppy for a while… he is my baby boy and he is so friendly and loves everyone. He does think that he should bark at the buffalo, though. [...]

I’ve been reading a lot about international dog shows and registries and clubs the last few days and oh boy, I think my head is getting ready to explode with all the confusing information!
I do, however, think I have it all straight. I thought I’d post about it to help me remember when I forget [...]

Well I just found out that PIcasa will make collages! Oooo now the world is in trouble. LOL. So I’ve been playing with it for a bit with, of course, Jet. So here’s a cute collage of Jet. From before his eyes were open to this month.

Hopefully collages are not as painful [...]

Yup, we are going to the Word Dog Show in Herning, Denmark in June! I am so nervous. I don’t know why. I’ve been to Europe before. Though never with a dog. That might be why I’m nervous. That and it’s going to be more expensive than I had originally anticipated. I do wish [...]

On New Years Day we went to a friend’s house for a party. It was fun and we love to visit and bring the dogs. Jet and Tatum got to come with and they loved it! They had a lot of fun. The first thing Jet did when he went inside was try to pee [...]

I’ve been doing lots of training with Jet… I guess I should post more about it. I’ve been posting up little video clips on my YouTube account.
Here is one thing we are working on. I call it the Feetz Box. I am not calling it a perch box because I have two other [...]

So I contacted a Travel Agent today to see about going to Denmark to the World Dog Show in June 2010. I have been wondering why we don’t see information about the World Dog Show here in the USA. We see Crufts and Westminster and the big AKC show. But I have [...]

One of the things I don’t have any faith in whatsoever in agility is retraining contacts.
I realize that sometimes you start training them one way and it doesn’t really work out for that dog, so you think maybe it’d be better to train another way. Or else maybe you start out with a Four on [...]

I’ve been working on a touch board, teaching Jet the Two On Two Off for agility contacts. He is doing very well. This video spans about five days of short training sessions. It’s about 10 minutes long so you don’t have to watch it all… or at all, if you don’t want. [...]
