Isla is doing great in her Obedience. This is her introduction to the Figure 8 - wheat a good girl. She and I are a great team!
My poor confused girl..........is convinced the Flat-Coat upstairs comes down to visit her, he's always there when she checks, she just can't figure out how to get into that room. Oh, Isla!
Now don't you be laughing at my dog!😂🤣😂
This is Isla's 5th week of Training. She did a pretty nice down-stay with other dogs practicing Utility work! Well done Isla, that's my lass!
PSA on what you have to do after receivjng the Covid-19 vaccines!
Ruby, the Portugues Water Dog, is in my Novice Class. I was asked to handle her in Obedience. Since I have just spent 10 days in San Diego, we missed the two matches prior to the Show. I have only worked with her 3 half hour sessions this week (and she was ready). Ruby has never been to a dog show before - she is, however, a pretty confident dog and exceeds in Nosework.
Ruby was entered yesterday in Novice B. There were 17 entries, 4 qualified (which was terrible) and Ruby took 2nd Place. Typically, I'm looking for 1st place but given the circumstances over the last two weeks, we'll take it.
Nice Job Ruby!!!!!

Glen is in love! We did some inboard training with this German Shepherd. Glen is around many dogs, and over the years, dogs come and go through the house........but this one he noticed! Her name is Eva, she will be 1 tomorrow and is Czechoslovakian bred. We just finished another work appointment.......and boy........were they happy to see each other! Glen is now taking a nap......no doubt dreaming of Eva!
I am saddened by the news of the loss of Cody. Cody, such a talented dog! Both he and Paula worked great as a team and he enjoyed his work. Cody and Randy worked well together too, and, as smart as Cody was, he worked differently for each handler.
I was always flattered when around Cody, he would do whatever he could to get to me to say “hello” to his friend! - (this sometimes meant breaking an exercise!).
Randy & Paula, there is nothing I can say to ease the pain.
Here’s to the treasured memories!
Here’s to his accomplishments!
Here’s to a great dog!

Week before Graduation for Beginner Obedience. 1 on the sideline taking an important call.
Dogs and Handlers had a fun time last night with the introduction of Agility. Autumn is a very anxious lab......she had a blast. Handlers, very impressed with your dogs.
Team Deb & Ruby, Team Bob & Kahlan, Team Jen & Autumn
Weave Poles, always entering with their left shoulder and only in one direction when starting. Manipulating the dog in and out....way to go!
Teaching the Hurdle Bar with a command "over" (unless you work in the field as "over" would mean something else to the dog). Both dog and handler jump over the Hurdle together using the command "over", then once the dog understands, the handler can quickly move at the side of the bar while the dog jumps with the command. The dogs did great for their first time!
Teaching our dog to go over the broad jump starts with handler and dog jumping over together, giving the command "jump" as they go over. Once you have demonstrated to the dog what you want, the handler can walk beside the jump and the dog will go jump over on command. Nice Job!
Walking over a ladder teaches a dog where their feet are. Kahlan is experienced in this, Autumn and Ruby are just beginners and they mastered it after a couple of attempts. Well Done dogs & handlers!
Advanced Class last night. We started off with some Obedience and finished off with a bit Agility. BoJo (the Golden), Ruby (PWD), Autumn (Chocolate Lab), Kahlan (FCR).
