Muninn! It's been slow and steady with this young man, and I'm really liking where he's headed. 🥹

Hexe! Small but mighty.. maybe not equipped with much of an out though. 😅

Annnnd that's a wrap on the trial weekend! While we did not grab any legs of our PSA 1 this weekend I am so fu***ng proud of my dog and the work we've done these last few months.

Day 1: Passed OB! Those who know us know how much of a project that has been, he's not a very easy dog and we've been working pretty hard to revamp our approach to heeling and decoy neutrality.

Unfortunately when it came time for protection, Vandal decided that he'd rather not out during the carjacking. Honestly if we're going to fail in protection that's the way I'd want to go out.

Day 2: Shenanigans! I think we were both feeling the fatigue of the multi day trip and OB was a bit loose, crept out of boundary during the long down, and assaulted a teddy bear. But! He didn't bite the decoy so we'll take that win.

While it would have been amazing to have made it all the way through both phases, my main goal was to just do better than we have previously, and we accomplished that. It's been a bit of a rough year and I struggled a lot with burnout and questioning a lot of my "whys". This weekend helped to remind me.

Guess we'll be back at it again next season. 🙃

Due to a hiccup in timing our fall litter has been pushed back with an estimated date of March 2024, apologies to those who were waiting on the C team's arrival in 2023.

Clarity and enthusiasm in obedience with an emphasis on a happy partnership has been my focus with Vandal over this past off season. It's no secret that he hasn't always been the easiest dog to handle, but it's moments like this where I'm reminded that we've been moving in the right direction.
