MeiLi really loves to play with her weaves poles. It is still a work in progress building speed, offside and tougher entries. But she loves trying. It’s your choice is a foundation game in Recallers. We use it in lots of things. In this exercise we are working our set up for agility and a release for her to come to me. I have an open hand of treats that she chooses not to try […]

This will be our version of Trickvent for this year. We will be focusing on agility skills and Recallers games with the two pups. Some days we will post both an agility skill and a Recallers game. It will all depend on the amount of time we have, and weather permit it. Hoping we can pull this off on the trial weekends. Happy Holidays to everyone. MeiLi is a little less excited about the teeter

A quick update on MeiLi’s recent progress and setbacks. She is becoming a fun family dog. She loves to cuddle, is a pretty good walker when alone. She does not react to bikes and people; however, dogs and other critters are still a bit of a challenge. She has done a couple of SpeedWay trials and actually did fairly well and earned her first official CPE title, her C-SWE! Then we tried to run at

A quick update on Devyn’s progress and setbacks. Devyn has gotten to do one SpeedWay trial and did pretty well. She is a few Q’s behind her sister because she was in season for the second SpeedWay trial. She has also gotten to do a couple of CPE Agility trials and has managed to get a couple “Q’s”.

Today I re-numbered the course so we can keep working on the same basic skills while keeping the course fresh for the pups. There will be lots of focus on the start line as both pups are having issues there. We will go back to rewarding each cross to begin the week. Working longer sequences between rewards as the pups gain focus and understanding of their jobs during the week. We will also be debuting

Well, we were very excited thinking we were getting an early Spring in March. I got the yard all set up with a nice “course” to start working the puppies on. Then came the bitter cold, wind and snow so things are delayed a bit. But here is the course we plan to play with. It gives up lots of chances to work some baby dog focus skills, tight turns and crosses on some real-world

Devyn did very well with this training exercise. She was having some issues with doing the tunnel earlier in the day, so I made the choice to do something different with her for the “extra” sequence. It was actually a pretty tricky sequence, and she handled it nicely.
