Dog Books

Oh yes, I have lots of them. I actually only have one training book for little cutsie tricks (like peekaboo, which is where I got it), but I have many, many dog breed books. And dog care, even though I probably don't need twenty of them (considering I have a dog). And I got my first agility book a few days agp! And I should probably be ordering more. I'm up for a challenge, always, and agility will be a ginormous feat. Especially if I even compete with Shorty (which, with greater thought, I may just do).
And the book I got gives wonderful  information, such as choosing your agility dog (which I already have). And training. Lots of that. And plenty of examples and scenarios. It's very nice and I can't wait to try out these techniques on Shorty!

And written by someone with four agility dogs, whose been in dog training for a while. It's a very good book! And I'll be looking forward to more agility books.
Besides this, Rosy's target training isn't quite perfected, but it's going really well. because of lots of homework and projects, as well as reading, research, and other hobbies, I only have a few minutes to train her everyday. I need to clear up my schedule!

20 Days to Go

Yep, only twenty days until my first agility dog walks into my house. I've been waiting for her since late January, and now, it's finally May. I can't wait to welcome the sweet little pup into my home and cuddle her. Rosy is generally friendly, but she loves to be the center of attention. Hopefully she'll find playfulness in a ball of energy.
Shorty is still a little angel, like when we met her, according to the breeder, and I hope she'll stay that way. Feast your eyes on her newborn puppy picture!

Back when her name was Sadie. And Tootsie. And Lily. And Taffy. And Pepper. And in those day, we didn't know which pup was ours. And we don't now! In fact, the only identifiable one is the particolor. Oh well! We have pictures of the pup now!
