Training Session

Today was the pups first training session one on one.  The first dilemma was to come up with a reward that was easy for the pups to eat and could be delivered efficiently.  The normal dog
treats I have are soft and easy to swallow, put not for puppies this young.  I thought about using canned dog food, easy to swallow, but delivery of treat would be sloppy and inefficient. 
A tour of the fridge revealed an ideal solution, homemade Mac and Cheese.  

So with a brief session one-on-one.  We started crate work, going through the puppy tunnel, and puppy jumps.  No luring, free shaping only.  Not surprising each pup was different
excelling at different aspect. 

Next time I am going to introduce play as part of the session.  The word yes did not seem to register, so either I will use a clicker or not use any kind of marker sound.  As long as I am
efficient at delivering the award that will be OK.

Christmas Pictures of Molly’s Kids

 


Kobra is a certified narcotics detection K9, BH, in training for SChh titles. 

Both these boys are in-tact ( not neutered) and yeah, they live with two male chihuahuas (one intact) and 3 stupid cats.

Eagle and Kobra are bred, trained, and owned by Molly Graf.  Molly is well known for many years of trialing in schutzhund.  I could give that Eagle on the left he
biggest kiss.

Last Report from Moscow for 2007

Authentic craft line items are about gone

in today’s Moskva.  Just read an article based on

interviews with real crafts people, and they can’t

find a good outlet.  Apparently almost everything at

Izmailovo (the old flea-market now renamed the

“vernisazh”–good old French influence returns) these

days is a fake of one sort or another.
Just in case you want a Bentley, I will attach the

photo.
