More Pet Savers Certified!

We had our second workshop of Pet CPR and First Aid Class this past Saturday! It was another great class and always amazed at how much information we learn! Glacier and Dixie were our helpers today! They always surprise me at how much they want to be a part of the class. They got so used to helping that anytime they saw people on the florr they came over to lay down, especially Dixie! They sure did not mind all this strange attention today! Haha!

This handsome boy is Elvis and he is learning how to walk on a loose leash! He is a real character and so much fun!!

I took all the dogs for a walk but do you see THIS girl! I took her back to the soccer fields by herself with her frisbee! Oh my gosh she ran nearly the whole length of the field jumping, catching, running and growling at that frisbbe. Little kids were standing and laughing so hard. The park was packed tonight! Then she ran and chased me, leaping and growling, she looked just like Tigger! Best night Ever! She steals my heart every day!! Please get out in your yard, at the park and and play a little one on one with your dog, such fun and it really bonds you together!

The first thing to teach a puppy!

and I will generalize it to all dogs! Fun equals Attention!

Anyone try this yet? I have one similiar to this that we attach to our hiking bags so we do not have to carry a full poop bag around when we are not close to a trash can. Don't you hate when you are not close to a wastebin!? These attach to your leash and do not retain odor! I think I might try one to see how well they work. The reviews were good!

One of the best articles I have read in a long time!

It all goes back to "Train your dog respectfully." You will gain the attention of your dog to deliver the rest of your "message" to your dog with their full cooperation!

Glacier at Work!

Spent the afternoon working with Glacier! He got to be with several kids today and saw lots of smiling and caused lots of laughter. He can be such clown! Wow amazing how much he loves children! Well done big boy, well done!

He was listening to kids that were playing across the street! See his ears? Not paying attention to me at all, faking it! LOL!

Emmy, Roxie and Isis did great in Scent class! We brought in a second scent in class to introduce scent discrimination but could not fool them. They ignored the second scent and found the correct scent everytime! They were 100 percent! We were quite excited!

Building Confidence!

Tonight in Confidence Class we worked on being confident about going under obstacles! We started out with the board very high and then low! Great belly crawls! Also a few were confident about going under but were so excited to go that we worked on self control before going under! Here are Madison and Lucy working! Great job also goes to Sydney and BlueBelle!
