Yesterday was a busy day. I got maybe three hours of work done in the morning… then the dog things started. And, of course, dog things are more fun that work so work got the back seat.
I met my friend for a split private lesson with our obedience instructor. [...]
I am so thrilled! Levi got his CD today in Obedience! Three for three, he qualified all three days. He got a 180 and would have gotten a 189 had he sat on his halts in the heeling. Well, we will work on that for sure!
Here he is on YouTube. I fought [...]
Levi is such a good boy! We worked his halts yesterday a bit, and again this morning, before going in the ring and he did a little bit better. Except for on the figure 8 he didn’t sit at either halt. But that’s okay, he doesn’t really know it, and my obedience instructor says he [...]
Levi is such a good boy! He didn’t weave again today doing agility… which means I’m going to pull him and work weaves for a while. I won’t trial him again in agility probably until September, or maybe even later than that. We’ll have to see.
But in Obedience he did good! He got 2nd [...]
I took Levi and Chase out in the drizzle tonight and we had a great time. There was a Steeplechase course set up at a friend’s yard and we went and tried it out! It wasn’t a very hard one, I will admit… but it was fun. Chase did a great job. That [...]
I’m so excited! Okay maybe it’s weird to be excited about new ring gates, but I am. And look at how small my house is. Only two of them will fit, and kitty corner at that. LOL. I just got these the other day. They will help me and the dogs [...]
Well, back from the DOCNA trial. As it’s after 9pm I’ve been back for a while, and the muscles are starting to stiffen up. But that’s okay, it was a fun day. I do wish I could run Levi and Chase both well at the same trial. Today was Levi’s day. He got [...]
Well, being home is nice. Believe you me. I do love trips, and sometimes one the way home I don’t want the trip to end.. but now that I am here at home on the couch with my regular pack, I am very happy to be home and to be relaxing.
We made it home pretty [...]

In my continuing pursuit of finding a reliable, solid, positive way to clicker train the flyball box, Tatum is being my experimental dog. She is so smart. She is doing great with her mat. I’ve changed the criteria so now she has to lie down on the mat, as I want that to [...]

First off, dogs like to lay their heads on keyboards, and it makes it hard to type!
So anyway I want to teach Tatum flyball the right way. And she’s not very high drive when it’s just me and her… so we are working on the small bits. I want her to have a [...]
