DUCKIE
Duckie the german wirehired pointer's owner was the lucky winner of our $300 at the SAFE quiz night auction.
I love watching her & her owner strengthen their relationship together. Duckie & her 'sister' Layla have improved so much with their place training (being calm when visitors come), walking nicely around distractions, recall around distractions & general obedience.
The added bonus is Duckie's new game of scentwork! I love the way her owner is getting out there & having fun with her beautiful girl!

SHUNKA
Shunka's owner has passed away & he is now looking for a new home.
He is about 18 months & great with other dogs.
He is sterilised & up to date with vaccinations.
He can be a bit unsure with new people but will be your best mate once he gets to know you.

ZEUS- Board & Train
Zeus is a 4.5yr old working line german shepherd.
He came to us with severe lead reactivity, redirected aggression on his owner & not complying with known commands.
Zeus's undesired behaviours started when he was allowed to practice fence running at a kennel alongside other dogs.
Most of Zeus's behaviours stem from frustration so by working on loose lead walking, basic obedience & relaxing then slowly adding in the triggers of others dogs & strangers we get to see Zeus's real, friendly self.

Today, we stepped out of our comfort zone & went to a confirmation show!
To say I am proud is an understatement with Kira's effort with Bolt. She listened to the advice she was given & took it on board.
They came away with 1st place Baby Puppy Dog in both shows.
Thanks Jessica for all your help & knowledge & Bethan for being our support crew, especially in such bad weather.

That's a wrap for the the 2024 NSW Agility Nationals.

I am bring home the best dogs & daughter anyone could wish for! Plus Kalani the 2024 NATIONAL CHAMPION SNOOKER DOG 500! Despite losing my voice all week!

A few other highlights were the teams events especially the juniors & the support they had for each other. Shadow's startlines were amazing from all the work Seth has done! I can't take any credit for his training. He got 2nd out of 98 dogs in his class & made 2 finals!

There were highs & lows, laughs & tears, new friends made & friends at home that we missed.
After such a s**t year it was the getaway Kira & I needed before commencing the battles this year has given us.

It all couldn't be possible without the love & support of my amazing real friends & family who have stood by us & not bought into the lies & slander of others. Those 'so called friends' who have not stood by us will be cut from our lives as we come home stronger & more determined than ever!

Thank you Mum, Ronnie, Dad & Trish for giving Seth amazing holidays & experiences.
Thanks Bethan for holding the fort together at home, taking amazing care & spoiling our special boy Turbo & getting Seth back into his school routine.
Thanks Glenda for continuing to play with the puppies at Puppy Pre-school & being there for a regular chat.
Thanks Bethan & Glenda for putting up with my messages of random town & site names & other stupid s**t.
