Dog Training….Unraveled
While at a flyball tournament this weekend, I heard two people actually debating over which scented bag was best for picking up poo. Wow. Pretty sure it will still smell like poo even if your bag smells like roses.
You know you are at a dog event when…

Here is my latest project! Cute isn’t he? Another Border Collie! I picked Flash up at the South County Animal Shelter last week, and he is quite a cool guy. I went looking for drug dog candidates, took out a few who didn’t even bother to chase the ball and was about to leave when [...]

After the dogs had a nap from their morning romp in the canyon, we took them to the school to play ball in the afternoon. I love to take pictures of Karma running, all that hair flying, it just looks so cool. Of course, she outran all the other dogs. Over achiever, that one.
I love [...]

I finally got up the nerve to leave the house today – whoppee! – got myself all showered and into my yoga clothes and made my way to a local community center for class. Got my mat, remembered my water, and after only getting a little lost, actually found the place which is conveniently located [...]

While I am thrilled that more and more people are training their dogs, and I’ve always thought that there was plenty of room for more dog trainers in the world – I have to question the educations of all these newbies in the field. Found this great article on the tremendous influx of new dog [...]

All my dogs currently have a touch of what we affectionately refer to as “liquid ass.” Yippee for us. Poor little Teak, bless her heart, went out to poo, and after much circling and decision making finally found the right spot. Unfortunately, as she started to “go” lots of scary, loud noises began to emanate [...]

I’m going to introduce you to this blog that I love, mostly because it’s the stuff we all think but are too wimpy to actually say, and I enjoy that she’s so pissed off at the world, but today’s post is truly a sobering smack of reality. It’s long, and winds around a bit, but [...]
