Training with Levi

So in order to qualify in Open Obedience with Levi, we need to practice! Actually, not practice, I need to teach him what I want him to do. Since he doesn’t really know! He is a good boy and is always trying to do what I want. Unlike Tatum.. who wants to know [...]

Hard to get in trouble

Tatum was saying on her blog, the other day, that it’s hard for dogs to get in trouble at our house. And my husband said it once, too, when Muffit came back to live with us. And it’s true. Dogs just don’t get in trouble at our house.
I love this picture because [...]

Obedience Practice with Chase

Today I took Chase, Muffit and Tatum up to a Bark in the Park event in Park City, Utah.  Our flyball team, the Thunder Paws, did a flyball demo a couple of times and so I figured I’d take all three of them up, and do some obedience practice with Chase while we were there [...]

Spicey Love Muffit!

After long last I’ve finally decided on a fun fancy name for Muffit! I like to have fancy registered names for the dogs. I wish i had a fancy name myself, and actually I kinda like my name… but I like to have fancy names for the dogs to go with their titles.
Soo… Introducing…

Sunday at USDAA

Today was a much better agility day with Chase my border collie boy. He did well. I was less stressed because I didn’t have someone else who was counting on us. Instead it was just us for us and that’s a good thing.
Here are a couple of pictures of my [...]

Tatum on the Teeter!

So I have been teaching Tatum some different agility obstacles. I’ve gone over to my friend and trainer’s house a bit and we got her on the teeter there, the dog walk, in the tunnel, and in the chute. I was amazed at how unafraid she was!

So tonight here at home I put her [...]

Training Makes Tired

Yesterday was a busy day. I got maybe three hours of work done in the morning… then the dog things started. And, of course, dog things are more fun that work so work got the back seat.
I met my friend for a split private lesson with our obedience instructor. [...]

Agility Practice Tonight

I took Levi and Chase out in the drizzle tonight and we had a great time. There was a Steeplechase course set up at a friend’s yard and we went and tried it out! It wasn’t a very hard one, I will admit… but it was fun. Chase did a great job. That [...]

Mini A-Frame and Tatum

Okay so today I only have to work 2 hours, from home, because it’s a holiday week and I get 8 of my 40 as the holiday. Woot. So I brought Tatum out back and we did some work on the little A-Frame my husband and I built a couple of years [...]

Stick a Fork in Tatum… She’s Done

Just a quick post… it’s been a big weekend for Tatum. Yesterday we had a private lesson with our obedience instructor near a dog park. Tatum was frustrated that she couldn’t go play with the dogs. I want her to focus on me instead. And it was a new place, and she was [...]
