  • Rio Contact Training

    in , , ,

    This was Rio’s third time on the board, and this is her whole session. She’s maybe done 10-15minutes total, at this stage? No luring, no targeting, no physical placement from me. I’m happy! I added a lot more movement in on this session, so we had a lower success rate, although I’m not particularly fussy…

    Rio met Rave after training this week. She was very appropriate and gentle, which is a little weird to see in Ri! She wasn’t 100% convinced he was a real dog, mainly because he’s not allowed to run wild and free just yet. Puppy socialisation is something I wanted her to do – that’s socialisation…

  • Miss Rio, 10 Months

    I think skipping agility class for a few weeks is a good idea. I needed to scale back a bit, and focus on getting her working attitude when we’re working together in the park, or at competitions in the exercise area, and of course at flyball training. Well, she’s always focused at flyball, it’s all…

    My lovely quiet weekend wasn’t so lovely and quiet, since I agreed to travel up to Scotland with Katie for her new puppy. Baby Rave (Capehope Rave On) is very very cute and tiny and naughty! I am puppy sitting him one morning this week, so I can get a healthy dose of Do Not…

    Just notes so I remember what stage we were at! Rio believes in early to bed, early to rise. Current wake up time is 5am, far too early. Bedtime between 7:30-8:30pm. She can do Sit, Paw, and Down on command. Luring left turns as she’s showing more aptitude for the right side at the moment…

    This is Kim at 7 weeks old, the day she came home. [singlepic id=152 w=320 h=240 float=center] She was tiny and squishy and had a fat little belly and a butterfly nose. It’s a photo of a photo because this was back in the day, when you had to take your film out of your…

    Beautiful day for photos, even if my dogs had all collapsed into small panting heaps in the shade. It’s a warm day for flyball training! Kim is at home, of course, having had 8 stitches in yesterday. More on that later, I think … ! In the meantime, has anyone noticed just how hard it…
