Check this out. I heard about it in a book I was audio "reading ". I think it would be good for all horse owners to see and watch this. Put it on a bigger screen than your phone then you get the full effect.

Sehr gut gemacht... Video of Haras de la Cense. www.lacense.com

Alert, Alert, Alert!

Weird copycat! So I was looking at my own page and I found a duplicate of my own page it's called Black Dog Farm for rehoming and it has a whole bunch of my stuff on it from group classes to individual graduates. Please be aware it's Black Dog Farm training not Black Dog Farm for rehoming.

This has been a trying week! This has been a trying couple of weeks!

If you'd like to really know the depth of the pain and the love and the joy YouTube channel, and look at the four-part montage that my husband Dave has put together. Rockin Rottweilers of Black Dog Farm

Roundabout the week before memorial Day our boy Ty was bit on the nose by a snake. We didn't know that he was bit by a snake because Rottweilers being Rottweilers are stoic and do not complain. Therefore we didn't know about the bite until a day or possibly two after the incident when the puncture wounds started oozing pus.

We took him to the vet and he was treated as best we could with supportive care and medication. He was doing very very well for a few days after we took him to the vet, and even had a follow-up to see if we needed to debride the injury site. The healing was so good that the vet said, and I concurred it did not need to be debrided. This was on a Thursday. By Sunday evening I knew that he was on the downhill slide. We took them in on Monday, mind you Ty was very very ill, but Ty still does not like the vet. We were able to do an exam in the room and draw blood. The vet was concerned about the blood work that came back and the size of his lymph nodes and the pain in his belly.

It was decided to anesthetize him so that they could do x-rays. Before we even got out of the parking lot after deciding to leave him for the x-rays the vet called me back. If you don't even make it out of the parking lot when a vet calls you, prepare yourself for the worst news possible.

Ty's organs were failing and there was nothing that could be done. We made the correct and loving decision to let our 4-year-old boy cross the rainbow bridge.

I do not share this for sympathy or the what-ifs that everybody will have. I share this to tell you you never know when you will lose someone that you love. Those of you that know Ty, know that he could be the biggest pain in the butt of a dog that there was. But he was still magnificent and he is sorely missed.

Hold them close, protect them and care for them, but let them live a full life!

Some recent graduates.

Good work everyone! It was an honor and a pleasure working with each and every one of you.

All three of these youngins worked on their basic obedience and each had their own little challenge.

Little birdie had to learn how to play nice as small as she is she'd take on anyone and take over the playtime. She walked beautifully on leash and took to all of her lessons like a champ. As with a lot of the small dogs, close to the ground they don't really understand the down command. But we got it in the end!

Tucker was so much fun! He works really good in a harness but he had the bad habit of pulling! We worked hard on communication and letting him know that harness work does not mean he needs to pull a sled or an ox cart. Now he walks beautifully at the heel and his pup parents have learned the techniques to reinforce it.

Shannon and Jeff have the most adorable little party doodle, Maggie! She has the typical whale eye of the poodle/doodles and let you know her opinion of everything! Her big challenge was her recall, especially sharing times of excitement such as playing with other pups. We work through that and she performed at her go home lesson like a champ! Whew!! She made me look like I knew what I was doing!

Congratulations to everyone and your pups really worked hard! Now it's up to you. But remember I'm always here if you need some pointers, review video, or just moral support.
