More Than Just a Dog

"Is that mine??" 😅

Yesterday, Callie earned her second CDX qualifying score out of Open A. It took her over a year to accomplish the task. For whatever the reason she struggled in competition though she excelled in training. And it was always something different that caused her to fail- going around the high jump, recalling on a sit signal, needing a second command for the broad jump. But, on Sunday, she put it all together to take home a blue ribbon.

Her co-owner and my friend, Sondi, couldn't be there to see her performance this time, but I'm glad we got to send her this picture and the good news!

I went to a family reunion in the mountains and came back with more photos of my dogs than my people. 😬

But, come on! Just look at his face and how proud he was to reach the top!

Sunshine, sandy paws, and the sea. It looks like summer to me! 😎

I'm told it's International Corgi Day which seems like a good excuse to post a picture of the two best kiddos! 💞

Did I have food in my hand or did he just want love and affection? Gotta check out our stories to know for sure. 😉

Um, excuse me? When did this kid grow up? 😍

Hey now, you're a RACH-Star!

Maya earned her Rally Championship title this morning in style, taking home the High Combined and Highest Triple Qualifier award with 299 out of a possible 300 points.

So proud of the littlest, smartest, bestest corgi girl in the whole wide world. ❤️

How it started vs How it's going... Same bench. Same goofball. One year later. 🥰

Happy Gotcha Day, Forest! I can't believe it's been a year! 💚

It's Forest's Gotcha Day! Never heard of a "Gotcha Day" before? It's a phrase that often marks the anniversary of bringing home a new family member! In my ca...

I don't know what my plans were tonight, but I do know they now include bathing a corgi 😅

Too much happiness for one little body. 💞

Obedience has a habit of fulfilling prophecies.

If you believe and act like it's boring and rigid, then so will your dog. But, if you believe and act like it's the most fun thing you've ever done, your dog will too. 🤩

Just game planning and strategizing together 💞

Maya qualified for the Rally National Championship this year!

The truth is that Maya's obedience career is likely coming to an end over the year or so. Of all the things that people may remember about her and her obedience career, I hope that JOY is at the very top of the list.

Training days are the greatest days. 💖 What are you and your dogs working on right now?

Name a cuter duo. I'll wait. 💞

Merry Christmas Eve from one corgi who knows exactly how to pose in front of the tree 🎄... and from the other who can't figure out why they've only been allowed to open one present so far. 🎁😅

Maya and I didn't bring home any ribbons from this year's AKC Obedience Classic, but when you have friends like these, you always go home a winner. 💖

Congratulations to all of our fellow competitors and thank you to all of the volunteers and workers who made this a remarkable weekend. I already can't wait to go again next year.

Happy Thanksgiving from these two turkeys 💞

Be loud about the things that are important to you.

This week, the AKC announced two changes to the sport of Obedience, but one of them is surprisingly controversial. Should the American Kennel Club change the...

Maya and Forest are absolutely convinced they were born to be mountain explorers. 🥰

Great Smoky Mountain National Park is the most visited National Park in the United States and two of the trails allow dogs! That meant that Maya and Forest g...
