Woohoo! Congratulations to Team Kado on completing Puppy Preschool. What a great "wee" girlie Kado is. Such a credit to all the good work by her people.

When we are not away at dog sport events, Saturday afternoons are usually about sniffy fun with the Koolies - but today the girls also got to work on their Treibball skills. Here are some peeks at them in action. 🐾 Check out Maisie and Zelda in the comments 🐶

More nails , please! - Zelda

To be honest, I don't think any of the Koolies really love having their nails done but they still line up for their pedicures.

🐾 Got a new puppy, ready to get started right now, and live in or near Invercargill? No need to wait! 🐶💨

Join my Puppy Preschool as soon as your pup is 10 weeks old—and with two lots of shots—and let’s kick things off with kind, ethical, and effective training. We’ll cover all the good stuff—paying attention, recall, walking nicely on lead and other tricks—while setting you both up for a lifetime of success (and fun!).

Some great photos of the girlies doing their thing at the Mosgiel scent work trial. Thanks to Teo from Floofy Photography for these images.

Time to celebrate some small training wins with the Koolies.

Last weekend at the Southern Scent Work Club trial in Mosgiel, Zelda earned 2/3 qualifying certificates and Maisie picked up 1/2 (and that was working with Jane Morgan !). Super proud of these girls!

Today, Maisie and Zelda tackled their first ever fun Treibball event - a bit overwhelmed but full of enthusiasm! They did get the ball in the goal eventually, so we'll call that a win. Lots to learn, but onwards and upwards. Thanks to Helena Akesson for everything Treibball 😁

No matter where we are, Maisie finds something to perch on 😂

Carolin saw the video clips of Zelda and Maisie playing at Treibball and was inspired to give it a go. Benson rocked this first session.

🎥 Wrapping up the Treibball workshop with the Koolie girls! 💫 Maisie and Zelda gave it their all (possibly powered by tasty treats) and did well. Time to plan more practice sessions! Huge thanks to Helena Akesson for sharing her time, expertise, and capturing these moments. 🐾🐾

It's a myth! You can teach an old dog new tricks. Maisie (12) is learning the Treibball (urban herding) game. On the other hand, her human struggles to video and ask her to do the thing at the same time 😊

After our Monday adventure, the Koolies enjoyed a quick search I had set up earlier—just to keep them on their toes. Zelda, newly off home detention, was... shall we say, very keen 😅🐾
