Treats are about the Training, the Training is not about the Treats

29 August, 2010 (18:00) | Uncategorized | By: Cynthia

I was at an ASCA Obedience trial this morning… and yesterday morning. And I got to thinking. Everyone else in the world probably already knows this, but I’m a softy when it comes to giving my dogs treats, and I may just treat too much. I was thinking that the dogs really need to love [...]

22 August, 2010 (17:44) | Obedience, Tatum | By: Cynthia

I am so proud of my smooth collie girl! Tatum got her very first title ever this weekend. I’ll upload the videos in a bit. Here is a picture of her with all her ribbons. She Qualified every day in Rally. On Friday she got a 91, on Saturday she got an 89, and today [...]

Tatum Q’d In Rally Again

21 August, 2010 (19:47) | Tatum | By: Cynthia

I’m so proud of my Tatum girl! She is doing so well. I’m not convinced she really knows we are doing a thing in the ring, but she sits when I tell her, she downs when I tell her, and she follows me around just fine! That is two Qs for her in a row, [...]

Spirit Chasers Spice CDX

20 August, 2010 (21:33) | Chase, Obedience, Tatum | By: Cynthia

Chase got his CDX!!!! I am thrilled!  I almost thought it would never happen. He started laying down on his sit stays back in March.  After the pigeon incidence and he got to do a 9.5 minute down stay in the ring. After that, I thought we were pretty much screwed.  But with lots of [...]

Heading to Idaho Falls

19 August, 2010 (16:41) | Chase, Obedience, Tatum | By: Cynthia

Well, work is over and I’m heading up to Idaho Falls this weekend for AKC obedience. Hopefully Chase will get that CDX, but I’m worried about it. Bleh. I hate worrying about obedience. I also have to repost a couple of posts her on Tip Tail but that will happen probably tomorrow or the next [...]

I Don’t Understand Wildcard Obedience

21 July, 2010 (17:01) | Chase, Jet, Obedience, Training | By: Cynthia

Last Weekend I went to a UKC obedience show with Chase. I had him entered in Novice the first day, and when we qualified, I moved him to Open the next day. But I posted about that already. Although it’s not really an officially acceptable thing by the UKC, afterward the club had a Wildcard [...]

Three CDs

17 July, 2010 (19:47) | Chase, Jet, Obedience, Tatum | By: Cynthia

Well Chase now has Three CDs behind his name. Though the UKC CD might actually be a prefix title I’m not sure. Today we went to a UKC trial and he picked up the last leg for his UCD. We don’t have many UKC trials here in Utah and so we do them when we [...]

Lateral Movement and Heeling

14 July, 2010 (10:08) | Jet, Obedience | By: Cynthia

Okay so I was able to video Jet a little bit doing some laterally movement and some heeling. I’m so proud of his heeling! He is such a good boy. He’s really starting to get the ‘IN’ that we’ll need on those left turns and figure 8s. I hope to get him to learn the [...]

Lateral Movement

11 July, 2010 (13:18) | Jet, Obedience | By: Cynthia

Well first off here’s a picture of Jet in Copenhagen. I hope you don’t get too tired of pictures of Jet in Denmark! I have a ton of them! LOL and my family doesn’t want to see too many of them, they like landscapes and stuff even though dogs are so much more interesting. LOL. [...]

Still no CDX

13 June, 2010 (19:19) | Chase, Obedience | By: Cynthia

Well, I took Chase to obedience trial this weekend. AKC. He needs only one more leg for his CDX. But dangit, now it’s being elusive. He got his two first legs boom boom. Now he’s going down on his sit stay, which is an NQ. Ugh! So frustrating! He has been doing so well at [...]
